[QUOTE="Allthisjusttochat, post: 1492897, member: 411268"] I was diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago. When I was at my appointment the Dr said nothing about testing. Diabetes runs in my family so I'm aware of the need for testing, so I called the VA (Veterans Administration, yes I'm American. Hope y'all don't mind a Yankee hangin around.) to request one and was told most noninsulin t2's don't get meters, but after some haggling I got one with a few strips. Now I'm working on getting them to send me more strips. I don't understand the thinking behind telling t2's they don't need to test. How is a person supposed to know if their by is where it should be or not. You certainly can't go by how you feel. I felt fine when I was diagnosed. My fasting sugar was 346. Smdh, bureaucrats!
