Mental illness and budget restraints throw a wrench in sometimes, but hopefully one can work around those.  <a href="https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html" target="_blank">https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html</a> should, I think can get you a meter for 2 weeks for free, far as I've understood it. Never used one though, relied on finger pricks the entire time.<a href="https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html" target="_blank">https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html</a> might help some get your blood sugars down, and maybe you can ditch the metformin if you manage on diet only. A meter'd tell you.It's not entirely hopeless, you know. I have a whole lot of conditions, both physical and mental ones, and diabetes is honestly the easiest one to manage to date. So chin up, and ask any questions you may have. You don't have to do this alone.Jo</blockquote>
