[QUOTE="Blonde45, post: 932957, member: 204748"] Hi I have just been diagnosed with type 2 and put on metformin. My doctor.....who is filling in for the diabetes nurse....has told me I don't need a Meyer to test either. He said that the readings aren't important as its the HBA1c that tells you how your diabetes is going as this tells you an average over the last 2 months. I now have to wait till December to find out how things are....I was diagnosed in June, confirmed in July and have only just had my first clinic appointment now. My brother is also type 2 yet was given a Meter etc. Don't know what to think about this as on here seems to be lots of people measuring their BG. Confusing to say the least....and the dizziness and tiredness he's not even interested in which scares me!!!! [/QUOTE]
