Hi, I maintain pretty good control of my BS without meds, but seem to be hitting problems with most fruits and all breakfast cereals. Bananas literally make my BS go bananas. :lol: Up to around the 10 mark after an hour. :crazy: Fruit and cereals mostly have me at about 7.5 to 8.5 after 2...

I was just wondering if any of you guys can recommend a good meter? Which ones have a good name for accuracy? I was using an Aviva Nano which i believe was accurate, but the strips are expensive. I switched to a SD codefree which has cheaper strips, but it appears to be reading high to me...

I was diagnosed least month. My Dr sent me for a GTT and that came back at 7.3 fasting and 13.1 two hours later after the drink. He said my HBA1C was 55 and not all that bad and that was it. What does all that mean? He said to see him again in a month. Any advice is appreciated. :thumbup:
