[QUOTE="Sharlieboo, post: 152356, member: 24965"] Thanks, once again. I've been testing for a few days now and my readings have gone up to between 9 - 12.7. I had a couple of glasses of red wine on Saturday night though - but ate sparsely yesterday. I was expecting it all to come down this morning before breakfast but still 12.3. No doubt I'll get a good idea of foods triggering it soon enough. I don't know if I mentioned it previously but my husband is out of work at the moment due to redundancy and I work p/t due to having two small kids so we're on a tight budget - hence my frustration with gp & hosp disagreeing over who should prescribe the very thing both agree I should do. When the prescription runs out and my husband finds another job I think I will find it useful to carry on testing - assuming my dx remains as type 2. If my dx is something else I may have to continue testing more regularly in any event. I did actually want to buy my own meter and test months ago when first diagnosed by all the medical professionals kept talking me out of it :roll: [/QUOTE]
