I read that in the book, but the second the blood hits the test strip, the machine beeps and comes up E2

Please advise. Trying to test my FBG for the first time and my new meter - SD Codefree is coming up Error 2 every time. I have read and reread the instructions and used several test strips. Also tried the control strip, which says the machine is OK. Can't work out what I'm doing wrong as I'm...

I have my meter, lancets and test strips and plan to start testing tomorrow starting with my FBG. Having never pricked my finger or used a test meter before, what advice would you veterans give a newbie?

Interesting - really thought they were single use!

Thanks - have seen them there. Just needed to get some quickly, so have bought a box of Bayer Microlet, which the pharmacist in Boots seemed to think would fit.

No joy with Lloyds, but Boots may have some that fit. Problem is that there is no name on the lancets so I'm calling in with my lancer so that they can advise me.

Thanks - I was given a code but couldn't see where to enter it when I ordered. Just need to buy some lancets locally to keep me going.

Just received my SD Codefree and test strips. Didn't realise it only comes with 10 lancets so didn't order more. Can anyone tell me if these are available in chemists or do I have to order online and pay postage again? Kicking myself now!

Thank you!

I'm still waiting for my meter to arrive as I'm just starting out with this, so no idea what my BG is I'm afraid. Hope they haven't changed anything!

Yes, they are certainly the right ones. Can definitely recommend them, but just a bit concerned in case they have changed something. Will have a look online and see if I can find any info.

I just bought some of these for the first time, freshly made and delicious, BUT the lable underneath them said 28g Carbs?

Thanks I have Wild West from Sainsburys. Pack is 85g and carbs are 21.5g per 100g so a lot higher!

Hi, This is all new to me too, but I'm trying to follow the LCHF diet and do more exercise in the hope of losing weight and lowering my blood sugar. Meter, test strips and Carbs & Cals all on order. I have to say that after 2 weeks of the new regime (even if I'm not doing it 100% right, I do...

I bought beef jerky after reading this, but the carbs are quite high. What make do you buy please?

I also suffer from this, but Doctors insist it is menopausal hot flushes. Have been suffering for almost 15 years and have had hormone replacement therapy ) lots of different ones, which eventually caused Pulmonary Embolisms in both lungs. HRT now stopped and I still sweat profusely from my...

Oh good - I had 4 so only only 3 or 4g of carbs. Well worth it. Thank you - do you have Carbs and Cals as an app or hard copy?

Can anyone advise as to the carb value of croutons please? I love Caesar Salad and you really need just a few to give a bit of crunch.

Well I have ordered my monitor and 50 test strips.
