[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2422725, member: 480869"] And even if you don’t do the online access (but please do try) you should be able to get a printout or written copy of his results. It’s his entitlement so don’t be put off. Have a read of the info [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] puts out in the red links below. As a type 2 in the U.K. medication is variable depending on how out of control or near the normal range a person is. There are several approaches advocated. Medication only one of those. Some stick with the unhelpful low fat low calorie message. Those that manage this on diet alone usually do so with low carb eating in some way shape or form. He should be having annual eye checks and foot checks and he should have had education offered. But the usefulness of that is hotly contended in here and most of us do better without it than following it as it’s typically low fat and brown carbs advised which simply doesn’t work well. A meter is rare unless on specific medications now. Many drs even advise against it. This is based on ignorance of how to test for a type 2 and finances - not the reality of how useful it is. for the record I found diabetic range tests years before I was formally diagnosed - once I had access to the online records. Sadly it’s not unusual. [/QUOTE]
