[QUOTE="silky1, post: 932650, member: 203636"] Thanks both - the surgery have given me an "Aga Matrix Wave Sense Jazz" (No Code) - not sure if that is the one you are referring to Alzebra? I did waste a couple of lancets before getting it right - one thing I am intrigued about is that the box contains 25 strips and 10 Lancets which makes a lot of sense - I've had blood sugar tests previously when I've been in hospital with pancreatitis - but as a needle phobic I felt I had to grab the bull by the horns sooner rather than later - I'm uncertain whether I can get more supplies from the surgery - I suspect I will have to buy them (and they do look like "Amazon only" products. I really like the idea of testing before and after eating and I got the sudden urge to test when I woke this morning - needless to say being 10 points lower than my last fasting sugar did cheer me up somewhat even though I know it has to come down further - my nurse feels that I need to titrate the Metformin and said she would have started me on 1000mg (but the way I tend to react badly to some meds we know to take things very slowly. Another reason I want to keep a careful eye on things is I take a ludicrous number of tablets already because of spinal stenosis / spondylolisthesis with pars fractures and excessive spinal degeneration from L3 to S2 - I know (Begrudgingly) I have to take a statin and continue my BP meds (which are doing their job very well) and Omeprazole to protect my stomach Thanks for the info - certainly some food for thought [/QUOTE]
