[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2384280, member: 480869"] Sadly that’s usually a money saving exercise or a lack of understanding how testing works for type 2. They assume it’s about avoiding hypos and insulin dosing (as for type 1). Few type 2 get meters and strips on the nhs sadly unless on some of the stronger hypo inducing meds. A few drs/nurses are more enlightened. It’s always worth demonstrating you know what it can do and how it’ll be of benefit in managing levels to try and convince them. But don’t hold out much hope. If you test before and 2hrs after a meal and note the difference it’ll show you how well or badly you coped with that food. Ideally less than 2mmol, less is even better. There’s a good post about meters that are cheaper to run as the cost is in the strips more than the meter I’d [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] could help please? [/QUOTE]
