[QUOTE="DeepBlue, post: 932946, member: 199469"] Hi I was giventhe same advice when I was diagnosed type 2 and found it strange that the doctor advised me not to test my bloods so I would not be given a meter. It was the same when I was put on Glicazide do not test bloods..... even on Glicazide (i know its spelt wrong) however when I went to see my diabetic nurse (who was useless) but I asked her and I got meter from her eventually. IMHO I think that the NHS is not giving out blood glucose test meters to T2 diabetics in a short sighted ploy to save money, but it just means that we go through our days with being able to test our bloods and feeling like **** while our diabetes symptom get worse just so NHS gets to save £10M.
