[QUOTE="carty, post: 145758, member: 22547"] Hi just a few ideas non of which may work :oops: Any way ,try being nice to your DN even though she says you neednt test if you say you really would like to check how your body deals with different foods she may have some monitors given by reps .If that doesnt work try writing to one of the firms that make the monitors they like people to have them because they buy the strips. If you get your monitor you can buy strips on e bay if you just get one box and test carefully you will soon find what foods have a bad effect on your bgs I would suggest testing particularly after eating carbs as they drive my bgs up You might try keepinga record of your results and showing them to your dn or gp to show how well you are doing then plead for strips on prescription. I cant get strips from my gp he says that what I eat doesnt matter,but that is another story. Hope this helps a little Iam sure others on this forum have some ideas they are a helpful bunch :D [/QUOTE]
