[QUOTE="Andy J-R, post: 2033794, member: 503535"] I've just joined the "club" as a type 2 diabetic, with lots of info from my GP's practice but some advice would be welcome. I've invested in self test meter but the readings it gives me are typically 50% higher than the diagnostic test results from the clinic. Is this normal? Also when is the best time to take a reading - I'm not looking to stab myself too often and for the moment I'm doing it daily after I've walked the dog but before I eat any breakfast. Should I choose a different time? Finally, I've been prescribed Metformin, how quickly would this start to have an effect on my blood sugar? Cheers Andy [/QUOTE]
