[QUOTE="RobertaTaylor, post: 2237141, member: 237172"] VashiB here in the UK T2 diabetics are not advised to monitor their bloods. When I was first diagnosed in 2003 I was given a monitor & advised to test 2-3 tines a week. After a couple of years that changed & was told current guidelines say T2 not on insulin don’t need to , so stopped issuing testing strips. Unfortunately you have no idea how you are doing & last time I looked the testing strips were around £25 a pot to buy from the chemists. You seem to have very good control if your diabetes. My last doctor’s HBA1C was high, 65, but that was after Christmas . Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
