[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1392269, member: 160246"] Apologies, I neglected to explain... I initially bought a high quality glucose meter. Unfortunately, the test strips were so expensive - (88 cents each; or 68 cents if I ordered them online) - that I felt guilty testing. Then sometime later, someone suggested buying the cheapest meter and strips that I could find. I did, and I was shocked because those test strips only cost 18 cents each! From that point forward I tested guilt free. So when you go out tomorrow, do price comparisons. Here in the USA, pharmacies charge ridiculously high prices. I bought my "cheap" meter and strips at Walmart, and a year and a half later I'm still using it. All physical movement is good. I love your idea of swimming or taking an exercise class. :) [/QUOTE]
