[QUOTE="Joepubli, post: 2348062, member: 488206"] I am a T2 and have been experimenting with this device for the last few weeks. It is amazingly good at showing me what impact various foods have on me - I am able to experiment and adapt. For example - a huge plate of mushrooms and tomatos does practically nothing - a piece of toast, even buttered, quivckly shows a vertical increase. It also proved that for me walking for 20 mins after meal brought it down quickly. The readings are NOT the same as those from test meter -they say its about 15-20 mins behind that. But for me its the [I]trends[/I] that are useful. If I forget to take medicine - it comes down much more slowly. With independent apps - you can also monitor you % of Time in range and indicative Hb1AC. Once I have finished experimenting with types of food and portion sizes that suit me, I can probably stop using it. It is kinda expensive on an ongoing basis. I wish NHS would consider giving to T2 when diagnosed - for say 3 months - so that people can see the impact and control. There is all kind of information on the net, some of it nonsense. For me - no differnce between potato and sweet potato. Or much revered resistant starch. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
