[QUOTE="MissyLA33, post: 446920, member: 88771"] Hi Lazybones, Thank you for your very informative reply. My morning results are normally between 9-13. These are absolutely too high. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and as yet haven't managed to obtain an appointment with the diabetic nurse (she's on long term sick leave, apparently) so I've not yet had any discussions about my blood sugar levels or the possibility of medication. I have an appointment with a doctor in the morning though and I fully intend to demand a referral to a diabetes clinic to get the ball rolling. I wasn't aware the first drop should be discarded so I'll definitely give that a go. I double checked the dates on the test strips and they are fine. I only received them yesterday. As far as hand washing I normally make sure my hands are clean, although I have a box of alcohol wipes I could use to make sure. I shall keep a close eye on the recordings, see if there's some sort of pattern. This is all still very new! Thanks again Laura Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
