[QUOTE="dawn28378, post: 408078, member: 76490"] I'm very much aware that blood sugar testing is also about keeping the blood sugars with in a normal range but if you will recall, my original question was in fact, when was the best time to test his sugar after eating a meal. I don't particularly want to pick this post apart! I'm not into playground behaviour. I prefer the meter which I do in fact find incredibly accurate and the one we use came recommend and read as accurately as the readings he had at the hospital. You obviously worship the sticks you use....so lets leave it at that! As for using the lancets multiple times amd not becoming infected...I have seen enough patients come into us with infected sites from using the same needles or lancets multiple times in needle sites or port sites and becoming infected to know that the skin does not hold its own septic qualities or at least not enough to fight of a proper infection introduced through using a lancet or needle in such a way. If you introduced a Staph infection through your finger using a lancet..your 'skins natural disinfectant" couldn't fight it off". You have natural flora on your skin...yes...but not thing that will fight off a proper nasty infection that was doing the rounds. [/QUOTE]
