[QUOTE="Norfolkmell, post: 2359854, member: 306528"] Hi Before you purchase a meter check with your GP as sometimes they will loan you one. Also they should prescribe lancets testing strips and sharps bin. The ease of getting these being prescribed will vary from GP and Health authority. When I moved last May I was told very firmly by practice nurse that they wouldn’t prescribe. So I told her that I would go to health authority and MP as my previous surgery in the same authority provided them. They are now on my repeat list. They are vital in you controlling your BG you need to know what it is before and after eating and what foods spike you. The NH.S want you to be in control and you can’t do that without knowing what your BG is during the day. You’ll also find out which GP and nurses have knowledge of LCHF those that do will be more helpful. When I was diag3 years ago my GP told me about LCHF and that it was best. I stick to about 60 - 80 g carb a day which keeps me in steady 35-45 hb1ac and allows me the occasional treat and my other half eats the same as me. So far I’ve lost 7 stones, it’s a bit up and down at the moment as we’ve had multiple bereavements in the last two months but I know that I will get back on track when I set my mind to it. good luck!
