[QUOTE="moonchip, post: 844492, member: 162834"] Sadly, if you're T2 and you want to test regularly, its something we must generally fund ourselves Seeing as we get our meds for free (instead of the £ 8.10 prescription charge per item, with an exemption card) I think in some ways that a bit of financial commitment from ourselves is good Most T2's won't test -- they'll just take what they're told & given and get on with it -- whether its right, wrong or outdated A bit of financial commitment from those of us who are interested will likely mean that we'll not only spend our money wisely but more importantly learn what it means & how everything interacts, learn to interpret how our bodies react to different things and ultimately make us more pro-active at managing our own condition I think its very much an 'investment in ones-self' and money far better spent that a gym membership or similar It just means that there are some things that you may have to cut out from your expenditure to fund it - but hey, thats life :) [/QUOTE]
