[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1307781, member: 295621"] You should really be testing your BG, it's your diabetes and your body which will suffer if your glucose levels aren't properly managed - not your GP's. A lot of GP's are blissfully unphased by the impact of T2D, probably because they're seeing it more and more, every single day. On the other hand, they would encourage a T1D to test all the time, however I can assure you that there are no differences between the complications that ALL diabetics can suffer from. My advice, get yourself a Codefree meter and test your fasting BG and 2 hours after each meal. They have the cheapest strips and as you'll need to pay for them yourself, this is the best option.
