Thanks will give that a go :D

Yeah clean hands every time and using the same blood sample. I have solution for my new machine, but how do you know what the correct reading is? I think it was 7.1 when i used the solution on my bayer contour

I have used a onetouch ultra2 to test my blood for the last (i dont know how many) years but its been a long time! Anyway, i fancied a change and got a bayer contour off this website. Now when I do my readings there is a difference in the 2 machines by sometimes 4 or 5. E.g. My old machine...

Well I have my lantus at 40 units now and my readings are finally sorting themselves out, thank God! Although I'm still going to the toilet in the middle of the night a couple of times. Why would that be? Am I drinking too much? lol

Just got off the phone to my Diabetes Specialist. She reckons by the sounds of things, my Lantus is the problem. So I have to up it by 4 units (which will now be 38 units) starting tonight, and if that's not working, up it by 2 units every 3 days until I can get a reading of 8 or below in the...

I'm having the same problem. Every night for the last 3/4 weeks I have been up going to the toilet maybe 3/4/5 times. Then in the morning I would do my blood and it's very high. It's really **** having to go to work when my reading is almost 20 if not over! Most days my readings are fine...
