[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1799578, member: 94045"] I gather from your initial post that you are not in the UK? The type of meter you buy really doesn't matter a great deal. They all have to meet the same accuracy standards before they can be marketed. What you do have to be careful of is the cost of the testing strips, which can be reasonable or can be extremely expensive if you are self-funding. So do make sure you check this out. Each meter has its own testing strips that are not interchangeable. If you buy a meter, and I strongly advise you to, you can gather together important information for your doctor. You can test whenever you have these hypo-type episodes, and at other times such as when fasting (when you get up), and at various periods after meals, such as half hourly. That is particularly important if you have been eating carbs or anything with sugar in. Keeping a food diary will help enormously. [/QUOTE]
