@Alisonjane10 As everyone loves the pics why not start your very own Have a Smile On Me thread....everyone can add to it too and it won't ''derail'' any other threads ...don't stop posting them please xMy apologies to members who feel I have derailed the subject thread recently. I appreciate not everyone likes the cartoons & jokey pictures I sometimes add to my posts. No offence was meant at all and I have deleted or edited all of my posts.
BG fluctuating this morning. Can't think why. Currently heading upwards despite reasonable numbers after breakfast & mid-morning snacks. Guess I'll increase the fluids & hope that helps.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone. X
Hi Princess, I hope the antibiotics will quickly help you through. It seems they have dealt with the primary issue for which you went there, so it looks you will need to go as soon as possible for advice to your GP. They should corelate the details and offer advice.Mine was 18 today. Went to urgent care as I have abscess at injection site. They gave me antibiotics but they didn't really say much about my sugar levels .

I hear you on the stab part ....ouch I am looking now to buy the FastClix lancet device....I will get one even if I have to buy a new tester to make it happen. They seem hard to come by on their own without a meter for some reason
I'll check in a couple of days, the price is very good and I'll replace for all my monitors.Hi Gezzabelle, thought I seen them in Boots for about £4, lancets extra

I'll post my findings:-D
I checked Boots online and they had non...was gutted to see them at Asda after I had ordered from Ebay and asda had them £3 cheaper grrrr,....won't be using the meter much as the strip for it is ridiculously priced. I will have the lancet though and that's the main thing for my poor fingers. Couldn't find just the lancet on anywhere so at best I will have a spare meter and a pain free lancetHi Gezzabelle, thought I seen them in Boots for about £4, lancets extra

Asda in store phamacy....£10 for Accu-Chek monitor the same as the one I have ordered...couldn't see strips or replacement needle cartridges but they probably have those tooAsda online, or in shop?

Only in pictures and all the reviews say it is the least painful to use...(sore) fingers crossedThanks Gezzabelle, have you seen the Fastclix device?

Yes various places locally sell the needle drums but they work out cheaper on Ebay as do the strip cassettes....still very expensive which makes them a non starter for me. I will use the Codefree meter and the Fastclix lancet...anything for less painful fingers. I was fine until I opened a new pack of lancets for the Codefree and soon after starting to use them my fingers have become ridiculously painful to the point where I have had to limit how many times I am testing daily to allow them to recover a little. Finding a Fastclix lancet on its own proved a non starter so bought the complete kit to get one. The meter will be a back up for the future should the Codefree fail at any timeThey sell the replacement needle drums at our Lloyds Pharmacy. The strip cassettes are very expensive. I get mine from eBay at a fraction of the price, but still more expensive than the Codefree.
I was able to buy 200+ lancet drums for £10 from a local pharmacy in Brumm, hope they still sell them:-oYes various places locally sell the needle drums but they work out cheaper on Ebay as do the strip cassettes....still very expensive which makes them a non starter for me.
