[QUOTE="Stillfighting, post: 1879056, member: 465646"] Hi - hoping someone can help..... am type 2 , controlling with diet ( mixed success). Diagnosed 2014. Been measuring since then. This year a number of times, I try to measure BG as normal, but when I prick my finger and place drop on strip, my blood is so thick it doesn’t even travel on the stick to the reader to get a reading! This is really worrying me. I’ve wasted quite a few strips as well but obviously am more concerned by what this must be doing to me. Ie Thick blood can’t be good for me inside.I have tried drinking loads during the day ( to the point am constantly going to the loo, and pee is clear ....so not dehydrated) When I finally get a reading, ( repeating a few times) it’s generally around 6.5. Not perfect , but not hideous? Has anyone else had this? Any idea as to causes? ( other than the well you’ve got diabetes...)??? Thanks [/QUOTE]
