[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 666213, member: 94045"] From what I can gather reading posts from the luckier type 2's that are given meters and strips on prescription, many (most) seem to be told to test once or twice a day, or a few times a week, maybe just morning fasting and before dinner (no mention of before dinner + after dinner). It seems to me the nurses/doctors have not grasped the importance of newly diagnosed testing out their reactions to foods (before and after each meal). They seem to think that just keeping an eye on general levels occasionally is sufficient. When I told my nurse I had learnt how to restrict my carbs portion-wise by testing each meal she looked genuinely amazed - this had never occurred to her as a possibility. [/QUOTE]
