[QUOTE="41ss95pn, post: 581433, member: 80882"] I must say you are very fortunate to be given a monitor. I was diagnosed 1yr ago with type 2. My gp put me immediately on metformin. He also gave me wee strips which are as useful as a chocolate teapot!! They always come up negative for sugar but my last hba1c was 62 (which i have been told is too high). I have 6 monthly appointments with gp and feel totally unsupported and i am being given no guidance or direction. When i have asked for test strips and a monitor i have been declined. I am working single parent on a low income and cannot afford to buy my own strips. [/QUOTE]
