[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2240754, member: 223921"] [USER=362123]@Tophat1900[/USER] thanks for the mention there is not much more I can add to what Tophat1900 has said yes I am strictly speaking T3 drug induced to be precise Prednisolone induced I thought for quite a while as my GP had just classified me as T2 that I was T2 but am not this I found out when at a hospital appointment with diabetic consultant . I difinately know my kidneys have been damaged but not sure about liver I have found that T3 can be a bit unpredictable some times going hyper and sometimes Hypo for seemingly no particular reason. One thing I will stress as others have the need for testing is imperative if you are on insulin no matter what the type of diabetes you should have a meter and strips provided on prescription. As I am not on insulin and as my GP just regards me as T2 I have to self fund I use a meter that can test both blood glucose and Ketones the ketone strips for my meter are more expensive than the blood sugar ones but are used less frequently so works out ok. I use the CareSens Dual but there are other meters that do the same. [/QUOTE]
