People who tell lies.
My GP (Dr Doom).
Good evening, My Gp told me NOT to play with BG machines as new diabetics just test every 10 minutes and confuse them bloody selves (her word). I only joined here yesterday and can see I should be testing heavily for a while so as to see what foods kick off high BG readings. Can anyone help me decide what machine to buy please? My main feature choice would be accuracy (read that paramedics carry an accu chek but which one). I'd like to be able to record data on my itouch or pc with notes if possible such as what I'd eaten. What sundries will I have to buy, the strips seem dear don't they? - appreciate the help. Oh, I don't take any meds - hba1c started at 71 then 58 then 43. Haven't got a scooby about what a low carb GI diet is, how I managed to get these scores to come down is but by the grace of God, kind wishes to all, Q..
