[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1592425, member: 410240"] Done, Firstly for most people with Type2 they need to test often, to begin with, to learn what food they can eat, and then don't need to test match. [B]Hence the meter is a learning tool, [/B]unlike with Type1 (and a few Type2) when the meter is used to decide how much insulin to take. A meter someone is given on day one and told how to use (before meals, 2hr after meal, learn what not to eat) is of a lot more benefits then a "better" meter they don't get for a few weeks. The best improvement to the meter I have would be to have a copy of the leaflets from [URL]https://phcuk.org/sugar/[/URL] included in the case, along with a booklet on how to use the meter to learn what to eat/drink. Cheaper the meter + test strips is to the NHS more people will be allowed one, hence only a redesign that reduces cost would benefit most people with type2. [/QUOTE]
