[QUOTE="Kazz01, post: 1450265, member: 376409"] hi all I'm newly diagnosed with type 2 and my Gp wants me to try to treat using diet & exercise. I recently went to see diabetic nurse within the practice to discuss my diagnosis and gain awareness re future treatment options I asked about the need for monitoring my sugar levels and was told this is not necessary as it's more a treatment for type 1 when I queried this I was told they (I'm assuming she meant herself and Gp practice) don't think it's necessary as it's "time consuming, pricey for strips and only makes the patient more worried" Do you agree l? or do those with type 2 think that testing your glucose levels is an important part of your treatment? Has anyone else had this advice from go practice and if you disagreed would you buy your own monitor? [/QUOTE]
