[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1919673, member: 94045"] In the "old days" meters and strips were given to all T2s. Apparently, according to my knowledgeable nurse who has been there a long time, the vast, vast majority did not use them properly, or not at all. Probably because they nhadn't been shown how to use them to test out meals. Most likely told to take a fasting and/or after dinner reading. As this taught nthem nothing, they ndidn't work. In fact, when I told my nurse about testing before and after meals to test it out she had never heard of this method of testing. She was impressed. There are some folk on here that have reported having been given meters in the dim and distant past. Please excuse typos and spelling. Am on holiday using ancient tablet with tiny, tiny keys!!
