You will probably have to self fund as it’s rare that GPs will prescribe meters for T2 not on any meds let alone someone pre diabetic, test at first bite and 2 hours after first bite for each meal - to begin with you are looking for a rise of no more than 2, if it’s more than that try adjusting your carbs down a little, ideally you also want to be below 7.8 2hrs after but that may not happen at first until you get your carb level at what works for you. I know it’s a lot to take in but having a meter is really the best way forward to learn about your diabetes I’ll tag one of our members [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] who has some info on meters that you can purchase Keep asking questions and read around the forum and take time to learn</blockquote>
