[QUOTE="budgend1, post: 1512443, member: 401440"] I read the above with interest. When I was first diagnosed with diabetes type 2 I had to keep a record of my blood sugars for 6 months 6 times a day, this was in addition to my HbA1c. after a period of time my testing was reduced to 4 times a day. All strips etc. were issued by the doctor. 3 Years ago I moved to Sussex and on numerous occasions I was asked about my testing regime and still managed to receive strips and lancets. But the big deal came when I was put on 'Gliclazide' I was told that the legal position has changed, I did not need to tell DLVA but if I was involved in an accident I had to have proof that I had tested blood/sugars before starting my journey. At my last meeting in March with my diabetic Doctor at the practice asked me about this and confirmed that this is correct. Metformin you do not need to test. I hope this goes some way to answer questions on Type 2 and testing. [/QUOTE]
