[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 666250, member: 19121"] There have been many one even started by the admin on this forum, they have achieved nothing but if you want to waste your time then feel free to set one up I will even sign it but IMHO you are better off achieving a good working relationship with your GP one were you can show her/him what can be achieved by testing. And lets say this as well those very low carbers who claim to eat under 30g of carbs a day, why do they need free test strips, its not as though they can adjust their diet as they are already eating the minimum it is possible to survive on. When I joined this forum I was told/shown how to test to adjust the levels of carbs in my diet by carefully reducing the portion sizes of carbs and testing each meal, It worked well for me and allowed me to come off insulin and lose over 4 stone in weight. But if you are just going to cut out all obvious carbs then I see absolutely no point in testing your blood sugars regularly (finger prick) other than having regular HbA1c's to show if you need any/further medication.
