[QUOTE="Johnjoe13, post: 1353355, member: 360268"] Hello James, just remember when ordering the meter to choose mmol/l and I'd order extra lancets and strips as the starter pack amounts that come with the meter will not last very long. I was put on Metformin late October after my HbA1C number went up following initial diagnosis in June, only been testing since mid December after finding this site and being advised to get a meter. This meter has helped me find out what foods and their amounts I eat that spike my numbers through testing just before I eat and 2hrs after. I've seen some improvement and know exactly what is bad for me. Admittedly on occasion if there is something I want to eat and is bad for me I go ahead and eat it, but like I said only occasionally and a smaller portion. I do feel it's good to treat yourself the odd time in moderation, but that's me and others may have a different opinion on that. As for your Meds I can't offer any advice as i'm not on as much as you but I'm sure once you get to grips with the devilish Carbs you will probably see an improvement in your numbers, and who knows maybe that will end up with a reduction in your meds. Do try to keep optimistic and not let this get you down [/QUOTE]
