[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2237411, member: 506169"] We Type 2 diabetics in the UK (unless on stronger drugs than Metformin) are advised either : That we shouldn't test. Or that there is no need to test. But we know that there is very strong evidence that Low Carb often works even when there is very little support, and works for around 50% of Dr David Unwin's patients (with some support) and even works for 60% of Virta Health patients (with substantial support). So if we can afford to do so, why don't we test our Blood Glucose (if we can afford to self-fund) so that we can get our eating right and maximise the chances of getting our BG numbers back under the diabetic range. I have been criticised for saying this in the past, but I believe in using common sense, only taking good advice and ignoring bad advice even when it comes from GPs or the government. As my wife is fond of saying 'If they told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?' [/QUOTE]
