i have type 2 and was diagnosed 6 months ago, I am not sure whether to test my glucose or not Dr says there is no need, but how do I know what affects me and how can I control it if I don't know what my blood sugar is. this is very confusing.

Think you answered your own question there. You can bet your bottom dollar your Dr would be testing.

You have answered the question yourself!

Read through the site and learn about what path you need to go on.

I will recommend low carbing and testing!
