[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 644454, member: 84857"] And so the progress continues...it seems that he is happy to test in the mornings without much prompting....I just leave the test kit out on the side when I go out and perhaps just out of curiosity he will test when he gets up....the readings for the last couple of days were 10.8 and 10.1...not great but better than previous readings... Will perhaps have to introduce the idea of testing at other times of the day ....before meals and after ....but for the time being at least we have some indication about what is going on.....three months ago we were completely in the dark until the diabetic nurse supplied him with the kit and testing strips at his last appointment... Have already suggested that I will put the test kit in my suitcase when we go away next week...(.this time next week I will be lying on a beach in the Caribbean:))....but will have to see if he wants to test while we are away....will not push it but will make it available should he want to.. Am hoping that he will take a bit more care with food choices when on holiday compared to previous years...he has indicated that he will try to be good and is starting to recognise that it is not just the sugary things that he needs to avoid.....slowly but surely I am continuing to reinforce that the carbs are the issue and it does seem to be working to some extent..... .....I just have to keep reminding him (and myself) which foods contain carbs and trying to keep these down where possible....can always check on my ipad whilst away and hopefully steer him in the right direction at the all inclusive buffet... Am aware that he is probably due for another review with the diabetic nurse when we get back so will just have to hope that the Hb1Ac results are not skewed too much by our holiday... [/QUOTE]
