[QUOTE="stephiesut, post: 681993, member: 52017"] It depends on the tablets. I was given a meter when put on gliclazide as that can lower your bg quickly so i was given a meter to test for hypos. If its metformin alone, you may struggle to get anything from your gp. As for testing, it depends what you are testing for. If you want to eat to your meter like many on here do then test before and 2 hours after meals. If you dont want to do that, and just want to keep a general check then test first thing. If you are worried about hypos, test if you feel unwell. Once you know what spikes you (for what its worth weetabix doesnt spike me at all, never has!) you dont need to retest everytime. [/QUOTE]
