Hi all
I have recently had a health check at the GP and told my H1BAC level is 47. A couple of years ago my level was 46 and reduced my carbs, but with lockdown things lapsed. I purchased a TEE2 blood glucose monitor back then and have been using the test strips over the last week to test the effect of different foods. Mostly my levels have been in the region of 5.5 to 6.5 mmol/l. I ran out of test strips and now the last 2 tests are 7.4 and 7.8, and that's without eating any carbs so now in a bit of a panic. Can older test strips become defective over time? Not really sure where to start now and feeling quite down about it.
