[QUOTE="Roggg, post: 2306873, member: 489176"] Sorry about your diagnosis, and welcome to the group. If you are going to treat your diabetes with diet or lifestyle changes, then a meter and daily (or frequent) readings can help you assess how you're doing, what works, and what doesn't. If you are going to take your metformin, live your life, and check your lab results in 3 months, there's no reason for a BG meter. Resurgam and others here are right. Most GPs and even diabetic nurses and nutritionists will give you "conventional" advice. If you stick around here a bit, you will hear from countless people (myself included) who did so much better with low-carb eating or other insulin lowering protocols. [/QUOTE]
