Thanks k8tie really great to hear about other peoples stories and experiences. I've just read "think like a pancreas" and that has helped me understand hugely what is going on with post meal spikes. I will definately look onto that app you suggest as I feel the more I know the better prepared...

Thanks. Yes I am not the most patient person! Just ask my husband, lol. I am hoping that by recording my readings and being a bit prepared when I go to he clinic in February will help!! I really want to make sure I do everything I can to be as healthy as I can before getting pregnant...
