I will stick to peanut butter and Vegemite (together!) on toasted Burgen bread...yummy :wink:

Thanks for all your input, I have now used mine 10 times and still it works fine so will keep going for a bit longer methinks :shifty:

Ditched the peanut bar today and just ate some Baked Almonds ( Apparently they help lower BG ) and ate everything else I had the day before and got a reading of 4.8 , So the Peanut bar was the villain methinks :problem:

Thx for your opinion, I think it was probably the peanut bar that racked it up, and then testing to soon after exercise....think i will pass on the peanut bar tho !!

After scoring a nice 6.3 after tea last night, today I had a corn beef sandwich with Burgen bread, a packet of Boots healthy shapers crisps with a carb count of 13, and then an Eat natural peanut bar with a carb count of 12, followed by a handful of blueberries. 2 hours later my BG was 7.0. I...

Thanks Mothman, the lower the Better now :thumbup:

Thanks Grazer, I was a tad anxious beforehand but I know im going to eat some " baddies" before I get a bigger picture, just glad to get that first one done and dusted :thumbup:

2hrs 5 minutes, it took 5 minutes to jab my finger 3 times changing the settings and trying to get blood...ouch...at least I know which setting to use :oops:

I just scored 6.3 for my first ever test, I ate Asda tinned madras, about 10 small oven chips, and a piece of Burgen bread...Is that a normal range ???

I bought that once when Sains had run out of their regular, I must admit I did like it and if its that low think I will change !! Only 30 minutes to go before first blood test ...Gulp

Thanks for the advice, I will probably re-use as-well , Im the only one in the family who will use it anyway so their isn't a safety issue !! Thanks :D

Peanut butter, well sainsburys crunchy is 2.5 per tablespoon !!

Finally bought my Aviva Accucheck monitor but want to know if I can use a lancet more than once or do I have to keep changing it after every test? First ever test 20.30pm after a meal of tinned curry ( low carbs) and oven chips, got a feeling the oven chips won't do very well !! :cry:

Thx for the advice, I have seen some at Boots that have a cassette and no strips ?( I will have to buy the strips) They are slightly more expensive so what is the difference please?

Suggestions for a testing meter please, Im off to buy one tomorrow and their are so many available...another minefield, also how difficult are they to use and what is the ongoing expense?? Thx :crazy:
