[QUOTE="dogslife, post: 1706735, member: 54885"] Hi Keesha. Yes. Despite having diabetes 2 since at least 2005 I was only prescribed a meter and strips once I was placed on Gliclizide which can and has caused hypos. I was advised I only need to test if I suspect a hypo coming on. I check my fbs to monitor myself and also if I feel unwell or have eaten something that I suspect could have caused a spike. I also have regular checks of my Hba1c as well as my annual diabetic review both of which are due soon. I was doing really well due to low carbing and exercising ( even had my medication reduced due to hypos) but have not been able to exercise since injuring my back in June and have also had several viral infections so expect my results won't be so good this time. :( Thanks for showing an interest. PS : Love your little dog on your avatar. :happy: [/QUOTE]
