[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2380503, member: 368709"] I’d strongly urge you to reconsider that. Testing is what gives you information about how your body is dealing with specific meals/foods. By testing immediately before and again two hours after the first bite, you’ll see which foods cause a spike in blood glucose and which don’t. This is vital information for adjusting your diet. Unfortunately many type 2s are given the advice that they don’t need to test. Mainly because that avoids the need for the NHS to fund the meter and strips. People here can help with information on meters (strips are the biggest cost, so if self-funding, that’s the most important consideration) and tips on testing. Just shout! And have a read of this thread: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/have-you-been-told-not-to-test-your-blood-sugars.66574/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
