Hi @goosey, welcome to the forum 🙂 I'd suggest starting your own thread and giving us a bit of background about yourself 🙂

Hi, many here use the SD Codefree when they're having to self fund the testing strips, their around £8 for 50, where other brands are £15+
It's available from Amazon or directly from Homehealth
https://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/codefree-blood-glucose-monitoring-system-mmoll-or-mgdl/
We use the mmol/l measurement in the UK and you're entitled to claim VAT relief.
You'll need to buy more test strips and lancets as they only supply 10 in the starter pack.

Hi everyone! I got diagnosed with T2 in Dec 2016 (nice Xmas pressie lol)I took it off my own back to get myself a blood test for diabetes as I had found out a lot of my family members on my dads side had T2 my dad included, my test came back at 97!! Put straight on metformin. 500 a day to increase to 1000 x 2 daily. Had no probs at first but then it was making me really light headed and weird, went straight to this forum and quickly realised my best chance to reverse this was to go low carb high fat! I have embraced it and love it! Still even have red wine! I have went from 17st 8lb to 15st 11lb since January, and the best news ever was a phone call from my doctor was my bloods are in non diabetic range of 38!!! Iv to get off medication and keep to my lifestyle change! Over the moon is an understatement, I will never become complacent and go bk to carbs, just a big thank you for everyone who posts on this, you do make a difference 🙂

Fantastic fabulous what a change in such a short time congratulations. Hope i can do that 🙂🙂🙂🙂
