[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2403620, member: 480869"] The advice not to test is in most cases wrong. It’s based on a) the cost of providing the strips if they agree you need to and b) lack of understanding how testing for type 2 actually works. Medics are used to it only being used to avoid hypos and dose insulin, neither of which apply here. If you test before and after meals you see what that meal did to your levels and how suitable it is rather than wait 6 or 12 months for a test and not having any idea what caused the results. It doesn’t have to be forever everyday. You’ll soon learn which foods work and which don’t - then you can just test occasionally to make sure you’re on track still if you prefer. [/QUOTE]
