[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2254046, member: 401801"] Your numbers are bad, but not so bad that just a change of diet wouldn't make Met and glic redundant... Up to you, of course. If you still eat a lot of carbs (and going by your numbers, you are), there's lots of room for improvement, but not with glic in the mix, because you'd hypo. As for the meter, most of us self-fund, as the strips provided often aren't enough for the bulk of us. (Especially in the beginning. It tapers off after a while.). So should you end up needing more strips than are provided, it might be an idea to get yourself an extra meter that won't break your bank. Just a thought for later on eh. If you want, feel free to share what you usually eat/drink in a day... You might be surprised at what the problem areas are. I think you can get back into the normal range in about a week, honestly.
