pressing the left and right doesn't bring up a delete option I've checked the manual that came with it and apparently there's no way to delete results it will automatically overwrite the first result with test 501.

yeah already tried that took the batteries out went shopping for 4 hours put the battery back in and result was sat there staring at me as if to say "ha you honestly thought that would work!"

tried it doesn't work

The reading was right but the date and time were wrong and it was just bugging me and I guess it shall for the next 500 tests lol

I've just got a new meter and like an idiot, I tested with out setting the date and time correctly first. Does anyone know if there is a way of deleting a result from the meter as I don't want to sit looking at one wrong result for the next 500 tests before it over writes it.

unfortunately, my hba1c went from 54 to 68 so I can't let my results do the talking but I'm putting that down to the fact that we've just had Xmas, the stress of the upcoming operation and general day to day life. the annoyance at the diabetics nurse I'm putting down to the fact that she was...

Luckily I live a 5-minute walk from the hospital literally according to google maps it's 0.2 of a mile also it's a quick operation should be done under a local and will only take 15 minutes. I'm not concerned over the operation it's self to be honest its the fact that the operation is being done...

That was the other thing she decided off her own back that she was upping my metaformin from 2 500mg tablets a day to two 1 gram tablets a day.

Warning Rant Ahead I could shot the bloody diabetes nurse. apparently, I'm doing everything wrong, she basically just sat there and sprouted the desmonds material at me verbatim. she answered none of the questions I needed answered, and yeah, I'm still fuming even after the fact that the...

No, the pains only been for the past 3 months in both my hand and my thigh. I moved from Suffolk to Cumbria and the people who were originally going to help me move let me down so I had to rent a 3 ton van and load it myself with a lot of help from the OH. When we were unloading I trapped my...

I tried it. It worked great until I had to walk any distance, then the wrap slipped, however even the limited time of relief it gave was appreciated so Thank you. Seriously it helped you have no idea how much even 10 minutes was a relief.

Good news, I don't have Peripheral neuropathy like it was thought Bad news. I do have Meralgia Paraesthetica and also Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain in my thigh is insane. I've been unabel to sleep for 2 days. It's going to sound stupid but the feel of the sheet or blankets on my leg is...

yep I wear a medi-alert bracelet as it makes the OH worry less if I'm out and about. 1 thing I would say though is you are wearing your bracelet the wrong way around (sounds odd I know) But I had a nurse point out that if a paramedic was taking my pulse they would be in front of me and would be...

I've just got back from seeing the doctors Diabetes nurse who has taken yet more blood - apparently constantly sweating isn't a side effect of any of the medication I'm on - My Hba1c has gone up and so has my cholesterol not by much hba1c went up by .2 and my weight went down by 2 pound so I...

moral of the story is 'buy a teasmaid and set it to make you a cup of tea at 4:30 am that way when you wake up there's a cup of tea waiting for you..Chocolate cake is to yummy not to eat'

Yep I was on citlopram, I'm now on 100mg Sertraline a day. It's not a huge amount but its holding the urge to take a very long walk off a very short cliff at bay for now at least.

About 3 months ago I decided enough was enough I was sick and tired of being careful of being told what to do of watching what I ate so I ignored my diabetes totally I stop taking the metaformin I put the test meter at the back of a cupboard and said sod it and got on with my life or lack...

its old mechanics spreading rumours so they can get chicks lol I can see the conversation now. 'no its okay sweetheart I'll just spray some WD40 on my knees and back and I'll be good to go for hours' 'Are you sure' 'yeah, its no problem, Oh by the way pass me that swarfega, its a great sexual...
