The information is there if we just look for it. There are so many ways to get nutritional information and carb content now if we need it, packaging, apps, books, internet. OK, it may be in small writing but the manufacturers are at least putting them there. I think 10 years ago there was...

Those readings look fine. It's normal for anyone to have a rise in BG levels after eating. If diabetic, these readings are higher and can remain elevated for longer. Yours are getting back in range within 2 hours. It's good to be concerned with your health but I'd save your money on these test...

If you have a normal car license, you only need to inform DVLA if going onto insulin.

Quitting smoking still has many other positive health benefits so well done :-)

Thanks guys, you learn something new every day :-)

Have it on the lowest setting that draws blood and change lancet regularly. If not, unsure what else to advise. Mine are pretty sore though ! Bummer :-)
