Hi all, I was diagnosed last week with type 2. The doctor has given me tablets 1 a day and urine test sticks.
Everything I’ve read said a blood glucose monitor is best so I’ve been out and brought one. Looking on the internet for the test strips and I noticed I could get them on prescription. I rang the doctors and asked and the receptionist said they could of given me a monitor free and I can get the test strips. She left a note for the doctor to do the prescription. They have just rung me back to say because I’m having 1 tablet a day I don’t need to monitor my blood glucose. Is this right?
