[QUOTE="RPNKW, post: 55609, member: 7309"] I have just done an interesting experiment re capillary testing and raise the qustion as to how this method can be trusted. Did a BM today and followed it up with a number of others 5 hours after eating carb on 6 shots of lantus in day and sedentary activity, largely apart from a one plus half mile stroll home. 18.16pm was 5.6 18.20pm was 4.3 18.21pm was 4.9 18.21pm was 5.1 18.22pm was 5.8 18.23pm was 5.0 18.24pm was 5.8 18.25pm was 4.7 18.26pm was 5.2 These were taken from different fingers each time Whilst all normal type range the disparity between different digits is intersting. By the way , anyone wants to get all pious about NHS funds I had to buy my last bunch of strips for £24 due to GP failure to deliver script (Taken on the chin as my GP is excellent and I am always last minute delivery re kit) so can justify a little excess. I will probably be asdvised that HbA1C is best but food for thought I hope. RPNKW [/QUOTE]
