[QUOTE="Barbja, post: 866795, member: 165014"] I would like to add my comments to this discussion. I take 2 x 500 meteor in and 1 x2 mg glimepiride in the morning, together with 2 x 599 meteor in., having dropped from 2 x 859 met forming twice a day, in 2014). When I was first diagnosed with T2 I tested my blood, every day between breakfast and lunch - it helped me know why I felt as I did, sometimes. My job could be hectic/ stressful and I found this was when I was likely to feel unwell, the worst was a level of 3.2 - chocolate in desk! I was told some years ago that I no longer needed to test - by my g.p. Yet when I go to Moorfields they ask how my control is - I have to say 'it was ok at my last check up'. I feel I should ask again for test strips but is it worth it? I have a boyfriend/blood test on Monday so should I ask again? [/QUOTE]
