I am not sure what you mean by that it should start working an hour after the first scan. The meter reported how many hours until I could see a reading right down to 12 hours later. I called and yes, 5 business days and a replacement will be here. They are sending a kit to send it back "if...

Did I do something wrong? I set up the meter to charge and read the rest of the directions. I applied the sensor at 11pm and checked it with the monitor. The screen said that I had to wait 12 hours, just as the directions said it would. At 11:30 am, the meter is telling me"Sensor Ended...

Isn't it interesting that you were told only after you had reached a critical point. Apparently we are not important in this picture.

I went from 9.2 a year ago to 8.4 after taking my injections properly. I then developed an app that reminds me to take the dose, accepts the meter reading and tells me how much insulin to take. Shortly after running that for a month, my A1C went to 7.6 and is now, 6 months later, 6.2 in the...

In late August of 2017, I went from 9.2 to 8.2 just taking my injections seriously for the previous three months. In December. I wrote a software program based my glucose meter and I dropped to 7.8 by the mid January. Now, in early May, after one three months of relying of the program, I am at...

I have realized that when I don't eat, I do not miss food and am not hungry. Once I eat, almost anything, anything goes. It is like I cannot stop. Never feel hungry though, even after 24 hours. Then, if I feel weak, a good meal is in store. I can go all day without eating especially if I...

One of the worst things is when you work on your A1c and lower it by two whole numbers, the doctors and nurses do not notice or say anything about it. I brought it up and all I get if a "Oh yes, that is good". They never ask what I am doing to get it there. I go in for other medical tests and...

I never realized that one should use a new needle every time. I think I did over 200 injections on the same one. As for the mound of spiky things, I use my syringe needle clipper and remove the needle. The shell went into the trash.

10 - 15 unit measurement is not a "tiny bit". Ask anyone who injects 1 unit at a time. I filled a full bottle in a short amount of time. What is the price of a vial of insulin? As for air into the system. Do you inject with a syringe? You can easily get air into your system but it is never...

I have been using syringe injections for over 20 years now and recently tried the Novolog FlexPen. I found the needles to be too short and believe that one tip broke off in my leg. I went to longer needles but could not make the adjustment and went back to syringes. I did not like the fact...

From what I read, it makes me think one bottle, for some users, should last three months. Some sites claim that a syringe that measures 0 to 100 is 100 units. How can this be? I see that some users take 1 unit. How can this be measured? Someone else claimed taking 1/2 unit and this did not...
