[QUOTE="Anonymous Question, post: 600118, member: 49758"] [B]Anonymous question submitted: [/B] I was diagnosed with type 2 in 2010 and I’m currently on metformin. I’m overweight and have high blood pressure and after 4 years of dealing with diabetes, I want to make a change. I think that by testing my blood sugar I will be able to see what can affect it and then make changes based on that. Problem Is I asked my GP about getting a blood sugar machine and strips but they refused saying I don’t need one. I’ve looked into the program at [URL='http://www.type2testing.com/']type2testing.com[/URL] and it seems like a good idea. it comes with a structured testing manual so that will tell me when to test etc and that's what I need as I'm not sure. It comes straight to my door too which is convenient as I work v. unsociable hours. I have no idea about what to eat or about testing but I know testing can help control blood sugar and make the changes I need which the program helps with its relatively cheap so I know I will be getting my worth. Do you think I need to start testing?
