| As a type 1 who is currently non-compliant, I tell new type 2's or those soley on meds to test once or twice a day. Get two or three fasts a week and the rest a mixture of before meals and post-prandials.
I tell them their main objective is to look for trends.
BUT I also tell them to use their tester as a food discovery tool. Use it to find out if those potatoes are sending you high or whether that pizza is kicking in four hours after you eat it or whether that glass of wine is keeping you low or whatever!
I'd be more angry with the non-compliant diabetics. Gie them the **** for putting extra burden on our health care systems, not on the person working extra hard to stay healthy!
