Welcome to the Forum! :)

Read the first three threads in the Type 2 Section when you get a chance. Successful management of T2 diabetes begins with a lifestyle change. Read and learn all you can on your condition, education is key. Good luck with your control and management.

In the Blood Sugar 101 thread look for a section called "Diabetes on a Budget", here you will find directions for the inexpensive test strips and meters. "The Relion brand meters and strips sold at Wal-mart are much cheaper than the name brand strips."
