[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2148547, member: 506169"] All I would like to see as a start is something that has almost zero cost! No real training required - just a leaflet stating the basics. Just to tell all T2 Diabetics that: 1. Blood Glucose spikes and overall high BG levels can cause problems. 2. That different people have different tolerances, but that in general all carbs contribute to high Blood Glucose levels and spikes. 3. That for Type 2 Diabetics, the Eatwell plate and the 5-A-Day emphasising fruit are actually wrong. 4. That in the light of the above, it is suggested that it is good for T2's to test their BG, That all that is required initially is one of the cheaper meters with cheaper test strips - approx £20 plus postage for a full kit plus extra 50 test strips. 5. Give the basic instructions on testing: - Test to see the effect of meals on BG; Test before and the 2hrs after meals; Aim for BG below 7.8 and for no more than a 2.0 spike between the before meal and the after meal numbers.
