[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1795461, member: 400972"] Nurses and Drs won’t advise to use meters because the NHS can’t afford to prescribe them. They do come with instructions but if you decide to get one and you have questions we can help. Here are some meters that are popular on the forum: Taken from a post by [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/94045/']@Bluetit1802[/URL] as she wrote it so nicely: The most popular meters for self funding T2's are the Codefree and the Tee2 because the strips are much cheaper than other meters, and you need a lot of strips. You can't buy them in pharmacies. Try here for the Codefree meter [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] and here for the extra strips [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/[/URL] There are discount codes if you buy in bulk. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833p The Tee2 is here and the meter is free. [URL]http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product-category/shop/tee2/[/URL] Don’t forget to check the box that you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for either meter) There’s lots of low carb alternatives, if you want to snack, but try not to graze, it’ll give your pancreas a break if you leave as long gaps as you can manage between eating. Anyway here’s a few suggestions: Hartleys 10 cal jellies which happen to be virtually carb free too. PhD or Adonis high protein bars. Berries and cream. Pork scratchings. Babybels. Take a look at this thread too, loads of us post what we’ve eaten each day: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today.75781/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
