[QUOTE="kt78, post: 383896, member: 50726"] Hi MichaelDavid Never mind working for Betachek - do you produce ryebread?!... Just to say I would happily use the old-fashioned BM style sticks if they saved the NHS that much money. Surely they would really help T2s not on insulin who just need to see if they are under 7ishmmol? I test around 9 times a day but ideally would like to test more, however I am sure my GP would not prescribe for that. Can I ask how much (inc postage) you pay for a tube and how many strips they contain? I use a pump with integrated meter so would still use the electronic strips before eating and going to bed so maybe my team would supply them if they are being used to see if my BG is rising or falling rather than decide basal / bolus rates? (Sorry, thinking as I type!) I agree with you that much of the advice given to diabetics is nonsense - I eat reduced carbs / lo GI. I find it worrying how Professionals choose to sometimes apply blanket rules, such as "you can eat whatever you want as long as you take the right amount of insulin". I wish that were true for me - but it isn't. [/QUOTE]
