[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 856121, member: 85785"] There are many newbies that have started posting on this thread, I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] to give you all some basic welcoming information. This thread concerns the T2 patients getting monitors to test their blood sugars. I am not diabetic. I get testing strips. This is because I have to monitor my blood glucose levels every time I eat! And according to many experts and endocrinologist I have met, they also agree that testing is essential especially when a patient is on meds such as glicizide. How can you know at what level and amount of carbs that you can tolerate. Whether 5g of grains spike you or 15g. Whether a small new potato is fine whilst an old potato will spike you. Most advice given by healthcare is purely for cost cutting under this present government overall spending cuts. And for most that have hormonal, liver and pancreatic problems and symptoms. [/QUOTE]
