That's reassuring. Thanks.Personally testing has helped me improve my control and understand how foods affect me. There is a lot of info on here about the best monitor, you need to look at the cost of the strips as they are what you will need to keep buying.
I generally test for new foods, I know the things that don't send my BG high so if I eat them I'm more comfortable not checking myself.
As for needle phobia, take a look at the testing kits so you understand what is involved - it's a sharp prick, you don't see the needle. Ok it's not pleasant but personally found I adapted quickly and it doesn't worry me anymore,
Best of luck
Thanks. Your comment was very useful.Regular testing throughout the day has been the key to helping me understand and control my recently diagnosed diabetes. I can't imagine not being able to test and see how foods are affecting me, in fact or me it's a no brainer. The finger prick is a bit uncomfortable at first but it's nothing like having an injection, you soon get used to it.
