[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2192354, member: 511345"] Hello and welcome, I think you need to remember that it is your body and so you are the one with the decision making power not the doctor. My doctor gave me the same advice- I told her I would get a meter. It's my body and I have decided I need information and the best way to get that information is to get a meter and test. So I think you are simply factual- I decided it was in my best interests for me to get a meter and measure. Now apart from that- what have you been eating? Have you been limiting your carbs at all? I would suggest that you try eating low carb and see what effect that has on your blood sugar levels. I've put a link below which I suggest you read- then come back and ask questions.
