[QUOTE="pollypocket58, post: 322560, member: 50688"] Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with type 2 a few months ago and when i went to the diabetic nurse she told me I didnt need a blood testing kit, it was just about using your common sense. She told me she couldnt tell me things about diabetes but instead enrolled me on a course called Desmonds which I am starting on 28th November. It just so happens my husband is type 2 too and hes helped me alot, we both scrutinise the packaging when shopping and he has a blood testing kit so I actually bought one the same as his. They will only give my husband so many testing strips as he isnt on insulin so we've had to start buying them online(the chemist quoted £25 for a pack of 50!!). Because I had other symptoms the diabetic nurse decided to put me on metformin, so I definitley need testing as this has put my readings right down( I had a reading of 3.7 one day). Ive also had to find out the difference between low blood sugar and actual hunger so needed my testing kit for that too. This is all about money, thats the top and bottom of it! [/QUOTE]
