[QUOTE="psychynurse, post: 320288, member: 50311"] Hi all, I'm new here :) I am Type 2 on insulin and have had a glucometer since diagnosis when I was controlled by diet alone. Now I'm on insulin I need to test 4 times a day. My parents were both diagnosed type 2 recently. They got the same line as so many new-diagnosed. They were told there's no need for them to test. It has to be said I didn't test much when I was on tablets since I couldn't see the point. It's not as if I could have done anything about it, other than fast. Now my condition has progressed I wish I had taken more responsibility for my own condition. So, I bought my parents a glucometer and when my Mum went to see her GP with her monitor in hand, he prescribed test strips and lancets. This was the same GP who had told her she didn't need to test. So, I'm wondering if her desire to take control of her own diabetes led her GP to be more accommodating? [/QUOTE]
