[QUOTE="Kerry-Michelle, post: 546450, member: 51218"] I went to my 6month check up last Thursday and they have me the same meter the Freestyle Optimum Neo got a few niggles about this meter with it not having a backlight so when I check during the night of I'm feeling low I can't see it and end up waking the other half up with the bedside light.. Also having a little trouble with the lancet I've got it on 4 and a half just to try and get blood out of my finger doesn't always go well on such a high number on the lancet my old lancet used to be on 2 and I'd bleed perfectly with that one.. Upside is it takes the same lancet needles and testing strips as my old one.. Was quite happy I was told I had lost 13.5lbs since my last visit but unfortunately my hba1c was up at 10% again :( I was at 8% but the nurses want me to start a different insulin course on levemir? (Sorry if I've got it wrong) they want to change it because they think I'm having lows while I'm sleeping at night and my body is treating it and then I'm waking up with really high blood sugars in the morning.. I start my Dafne course in July and they said it's best to change the insulin now as they most probably would change it while I'm on the course so it gives me a few months to get used to it.. I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely sunshine :) All the best to everyone :) Kerry xxx Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
