These guys....

Became Diabetic just after the new year, after being told end October that they'd try me on diet only and was given some paperwork on what is good to eat and not, and the amounts, absolute B-llocks all the food they recommended mainly Carbs and veg, totally wrong, the NHS needs a good shake up on there Diabetic administration and information they hand out.
So January I went and bought a Aviva Nano, tested myself twice a day, before Breakfast and 2 hours after and before evening meal and 2 hours after, early readings around 17.00mmol to 21.50mmol, writing down what I ate and taking advice from Guys and Gals from this site I reduced my carbs by reducing, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, vegetables grown under the ground, carrots, parsnips, etc and my glucose levels started dropping quite quickly, month on I'm looking at 6.50mmol to 8.50mmol.
So I asked my Doctor for a repeat prescription for my Lancets and test strips, standard answer came back type 2 diabetics don't need to test, my answer was apart from it being cost to the NHS, how is a type 2 Diabetic supposed to know how their glucose levels are doing and as I already have a meter and proven, I not only reduced my glucose readings but done it on a low carb diet not the NHS recommended diet, why are type 2 diabetics told they don't need testing only the standard 3 monthly fasting test.
He could not answer, I walked out of there with a new Element meter and a repeat prescription for a month supply of test strips and lancets for testing 2 a day.
Also get a FP92A from your GP as all your prescriptions are no free, this is a important certificate to have other wise the government can charge you for your prescriptions.
