As I said I don't test, I eat healthily (I do have some treats) and by counting my carbs and reading labels etc, doing the Xpert course I have dropped to  pre-diabetic levels. My Diabetic team are very happy with me and I am continuing to watch what I eat. Testing when you are T2 and on diet only or metformin is not essential, I do have a monitor as I said before, and I do test occasionally, usually if I'm unwell, but I've managed to get my levels in check so it is possible. Cutting carbs to a sensible level will give you a good chance of getting your levels down, if your HbA1c is bad then your diabetic team will advise you what to do. Always ask them questions and make sure you get answers and ask to do the Xpert course, it will change the way you eat and understand your diabetes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
