[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 523572, member: 55195"] Ok, congrats on getting a meter ! Your post meal reading is not too bad but could be a little lower but, as you mentioned, no pre-meal reading so nothing to guage it against. Record all readings so you can look back at them and see how your body reacts to certain foods. The lancets, NHS guidance is they are 1 time use only but there are many here that use them multiple times. As for the setting, you should have it at the lowest setting that still draws blood. I use index finger no problem but personal choice. It's less painful if you use the side of the finger and rotate fingers so they don't get sore.
