soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I pretty much understand this condition and manage well, but I would like to take my BGs below 5 and can't seem to do it. I know I could if I were prepared to use gliclazide, but I'm NOT. I low carb and take up to 4 x 500 metformin per day. I also walk miles. I usually get BGs of5.4 to 5.5. I have come into a stock of strips. Since the diabetogist saw fit to give my T1 husband a new meter( but no instructions on what to do), I have come into his stash. I am the proud possessor of 4 whole packs of Freestyle strips. I even got one from my doctor.
