[QUOTE="NaijaChick, post: 1674003, member: 465433"] Thank you all for your replies. The problem is the pain that I experience while doing the prick and after. I have a very low pain threshold but the pain is like a cut that is healing and should not be disturbed. I’m 35 and the stress of Pregnancy put me off for a long time, I know that pregnancy and child birth will be difficult, thanks for reminding me [emoji24]. The general rule is that if you even for a second think your going to get pregnant as a Type2, it’s straight to insulin and you testing. I understand that the risks to the baby can be life threatening hence the NHS giving test strips etc(Apart from the supplies I received last week, I buy all my lancets and strips, I don’t want to drain the NHS, when I can afford it) I’m not needle phobic but it’s the pain that is the issue. I’ll buy the genteel as the long term cost is slightly cheaper than my OneTouch system. Wish me luck. [/QUOTE]
