Part of the reason whay type 2s are being encouraged not to test is the amount of money it cost the NHS envy of the world. From your point of view this is bad advice- you cannot control what you cannot measure! I am type 1 and about 5 years ago was advised by my GP only to test once a day, as the NICE guidance is only 50 strips a month. This does not work, I personally need about 6 tests a day.
