    Readings

    Your meter is not 100 % accurate, so it is not often that you will get the same reading twice in a row.

    Question on HbA1c

    Hi @Robcz , I can help on the Hba1c questions. A Hba1c test gives you a very accurate reading of your average sugar in your blood over the last roughly 12 weeks. In the past it was expressed as a % of sugar in your blood, and the sign of Diabetes was normally higher than 6.5%. Recently the UK...

    HbA1c

    @jaxx44 A figure of 48 is the indication of Diabetes , so your figure of 45 is just in the normal range, and a vast improvement. I would be happy with it there, but you could aim to drop it a bit further if you wanted to, but you will not be doing any damage at 45. Well done:)

    Holiday carbs?

    @cineman Hi, You are going on holiday for a short time so my advice would be enjoy yourself, eat what grabs you, in moderation if you can. If this leads to a increase in Blood Sugar you should not suffer to much damage over a short period, and go back to strict eating on your return. Ive done...

    Help I am very anxious... Nervous of taking Tablets while travelling.

    Hi @Busy1 Totally agree with @graj I also only change my lances when they become "Blunt" probably about once every 2 weeks, but his idea of bringing them home sounds good, you could do the same with used strips, but I normally just throw them in the bin.
