Does no one test before they drive as this is a legal requirement from the DVLA
Why do you test 2 hours before eating or was this a typo?I test twice a day and that's 2 hours before and after my meal. I've had great help with reading materials and one of them was " Don't Mess With Your sugar, Honey" by Dr. Zilber helped a lot in understanding diabetes better. His book helps in understanding different ways to monitor blood glucose effectively.
Before I eat and two hours after. Also first thing in morning if that doesn't coincide with breakfast
Do people tend to test daily?
I'll be getting my monitor tomorrow, and unsure whether i should be testing daily, weekly etc.
OK Morning guys.
Courtesy of the VERY able assistance on this board and after some appropriate prompting from some members, I bought a meter this morning.
The chemist took me thru EVERYTHING in loading and using the meter and even thru in a pack of 100 strips !!
He took a reading (and this as an hour after breakfast) and it was 7.4 ... he reckons that's fine.
Is there a chart somewhere you can download / print that shows what's good and what's bad in terms of numbers whether you test first thing in the morning, before you got to be and in between?
Thanks
Mike
