[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 773120, member: 94045"] I hope you feel better soon. Most of us Type 2's buy our own meters as we find they are essential in helping us find a sustainable diet and checking which foods we personally can or can't cope with. They are essential if you want to control this disease. We are all told we don't need to test, but we know different. Also, it is wrong that you were told Metformin will control it. It won't. Diet is the key. Metformin is mainly an appetite suppressant to help with weight loss. It also reduces the production of glucose by the liver and helps a little with insulin resistance, but all to a limited extent. It does very little to lower blood sugars and will not prevent spikes after eating unsuitable food. [/QUOTE]
