hi my name is alan.i have diabetes type 2.the question is do i need to test my blood if i am a type 2.
 
The only way you can find out what food is fine for you to eat and which raises your glucose levels too much is to test before and after meals. So if you want to take control of your diabetes, the answer has to be "Yes" in spite of what your doctor or diabetes nurse may tell you. Many type 2s on the forum buy a Codefree meter (look on Amazon or eBay) as this meter has the cheapest test strips, which are the major expense in testing - many brands of the meters themselves are often given away free or are fairly cheap to buy - but the strips that work with then are very pricey!
