[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 1741622, member: 455169"] Most of us are when we start I struggled to work out the lancet. Worth knowing is that there are u tube videos on using a lancet and how to use them. Important thing is to test before a big meal and then two hours after. You’re aiming for an increase of less than 2.0 between the readings the lower the difference the better. If a food dosent suit you as it gives you a spike you learn to ditch it! I used a food log in an exercise book to record effects and to work out my best meals. I don’t need to do this now. A lot of us test on waking too to see how they are after an overnight fast. There is also a free app called mysugr where if you enter at least three readings a day it gives you an estimated hbaca1 which can be useful. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
