I Know A Couple Of People Who Became Diabetic Recently And They Don’t Have To Check Their Sugar At All . Is This Something New ?
I agree how do they know what their reading is. If it is too low or too high . When I see my doctor in the end of August I am going to ask her. I could understand if they had the Libre or the Dexcomn. Thank you for your answer. Hugs 🥰
The frequency of blood sugar monitoring for people with diabetes can vary based on individual treatment plans and the type of diabetes they have. For some people with type 2 diabetes, especially if their condition is well-controlled through diet and oral medications, their doctor may recommend less frequent monitoring. Here Show Full Answer
When first diagnosed I was not asked to test (over 30yrs ago) but I did it on my own . Because I understood the diet given was not producing the reduction in my A1c that I thought necessary for my long term health. Only reason I knew this was by personal research. We all are responsible for our own health . To hand that over without question to a health care system geared to maximizing profits is detrimental

I have heard of this but my meter is my friend. I think all diebetics, well controlled or not should do finger sticks, to know which course of action needs to be taken
When a person is diagnosed with diabetes, 20 years is cut off their lifespan.
By checking their blood glucose numbers and eating to the nondiabetic range of 4.0 (72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa), you can gain most of those 20 years back. Baby steps.
You can halt the additional cumulative vascular damage that feeds diabetes complications and comorbidities, by eating to this nondiabetic range. Baby steps.
Drop weight to the normal BMI of 18.0 to 24.9. ---- 22.0 to 23.0 is better. Baby steps.
Portion control helps. Sleeping 6-7 nightly is good, 8 is better. Baby steps.
Most people can handle 100-130 net carbs daily. Some only 50-60. Some only 20-30 net carbs daily. Baby steps.
My meter tells me I can only handle 2-3 net carbs per meal. Eat to your meter. Baby steps.
You can live your best life with diabetes. Be a warrior and do some of the hard work and cut your carbs. Baby steps.
