    Finger prick tests wildly different

    Hi all. I've had type 2 diabetes for 6 years, spurred on after a prolonged infection from an operation. Since Christmas I have been testing my sugars after a stressful and chaotic year 2024 and my hba1c rocketing to 78. I've managed to get it down to 60, still working on getting between...

    Prediabetes Not insulin resistant - what's going on?

    Hi, I'm a bit confused at the moment. Having posted a thread on here about failing to find a control solution for my meter to check it's accuracy a very bright person suggested that I go to a lab to simultaneously have a fasting glucose test and use the same sample to test my meter. So that it...
