[QUOTE="Lakeslover, post: 2476334, member: 541354"] I think it’s [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] who has some good info on meters. I’m afraid I have had little help from the NHS as a type 2. For years I was told to eat “healthy” carbs, and every time I discussed my diet with the diabetic nurses or doctor they said my diet was good and no changes needed. About 5 years ago I decided to try low carb but after a month on it I had a routine appointment where I was soundly told off by the nurses. So I went back to following their advice, with the resultant ever increasingHbA1c. fast forward to March last year and I decided to get a libre to monitor blood sugars, joined this forum and went low carb. Latest HbA1c is 44 (in sept last year it was 71). I have told the doctor I’ve adjusted my diet…but not yet how. I will do though when I can see her face to face. [/QUOTE]
