[QUOTE="Keith_Simpson, post: 1986314, member: 401116"] They don't prescribe testing equipment or test strips to Type 2 patients because of the cost involved to the NHS; only when you use insulin do they encoursge testing because of the risk of hypos but even then test strips are rationed. They rely on their Hba1c test which gives an indication of average glucose levels but this provides no information to you regarding what you are doing right or what you are doing wrong. Self testing is the only way to know what you are doing right & what you are doing wrong. The logic is inescapable & anyone suggesting it is a waste of time needs to have this logic explained to them very carefully. [/QUOTE]
