[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1795351, member: 400972"] I would have thought you have a case for trying diet alone if that’s what you’d like to do. Put it to your nurse and see what she says, even if she disagrees she can’t force you to take the tablets anyway. My HbA1c was higher than yours at 70 and there was a suggestion that I’d had a borderline test a year or so previously which I wasn’t told about, so I wanted to get my levels down as quickly as possible because they may have been high for longer than first appeared. Here are some meters that are popular on the forum: Taken from a post by [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/94045/']@Bluetit1802[/URL] as she wrote it so nicely: The most popular meters for self funding T2's are the Codefree and the Tee2 because the strips are much cheaper than other meters, and you need a lot of strips. You can't buy them in pharmacies. Try here for the Codefree meter [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] and here for the extra strips [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/[/URL] There are discount codes if you buy in bulk. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833p The Tee2 is here and the meter is free.
