Just an idea but your strips may go out of date if you are using just one or two per week so keep a check on the dates.
Yes that is what i plan on doing ,I will check throughout the day once a week .I rarely check nowadays, but when I do it’ll be a number of checks over a single day.
I agree, constantly checking and getting the same results is pretty pointless.
Well I am still early days although I've been type 2 for nearly two years, i did get my numbers down to 53 last year , then with a lot of stress and family tragedy I didn't eat right and it shot up to 105 ,I decided on LCHF and within 11 weeks it dropped to 59 . The morning 7.5 is a recent thing but then after my breakfast its in the low six's and around four in the afternoon well under six.I do once a day and it works for me, though this week has been a roll a coaster.... stress is fairly trashing my FBGs.....
Not sure if I've ever had a 7..... What ever works for you.

Strangely the only time it rises to 7.5 is when i walk after a meal , if i don't walk it never goes over 7 .
I'm not worried about the numbers and so that is why i am going to only test once a week , unless of course i eat something different or feel any different.
When I started on LCHF and started to take Metformin two and a half years ago, my hba1c was 58.4. I got my levels down into the high 30's after three months, I have since got that down to a string of 34's.I decided on LCHF and within 11 weeks it dropped to 59 .
Hope all goes well , let us know .When I started on LCHF and started to take Metformin two and a half years ago, my hba1c was 58.4. I got my levels down into the high 30's after three months, I have since got that down to a string of 34's.
I test six times a day, and will continue to test when I find the result of last hba1c (hopefully another < 34) on Wednesday, when I am asking my GP for me to stop taking Metformin to keep control of my T2.
Very nice. What happened in early December 2017? How come the drop after that? Okay, just seen it. Medication. Consistent too.When I started on LCHF and started to take Metformin two and a half years ago, my hba1c was 58.4.

I take a couple of 500 mg Metformin one in the morning at breakfast, and one at night at dinner time.Very nice. What happened in early December 2017? How come the drop after that? Okay, just seen it. Medication. Consistent too.
Do you expect the readings to go up after you drop the Metformin?I take a couple of 500 mg Metformin one in the morning at breakfast, and one at night at dinner time.
They will probably go up a bit, most people I seen here say that their fasting readings went up.Do you expect the readings to go up after you drop the Metformin?
Nice.They will probably go up a bit, most people I seen here say that their fasting readings went up.
Only way for me to find out is to stop taking them for a three month period and see how I go.
I eat the same food all the time and been keeping a record of my numbers before and after food and they are almost the same daily , the only change is the morning numbers for some reason i am over 7 when wake but it levels out during the day and never goes high, so I am only going to test once a week to keep a check.
anyone else do this ?
I think that's that bug in the list of types,You're listed as insulin dependant.
the OP's profile info says LCHF and T2.Diagnosed type 2 in March 2017,
