Hi,
My 10 year old son is using a One Touch Ultra blood sugar monitor (for the last 4 years) which was provided by the diabetic clinic and all the strips and needles via the doctor.
Can anyone let me know if there are any other better monitors out there available on the NHS that would mean less pain and effort for him when he tests his sugars.
I would also appreciate it if you could also advise how often you all test you sugar levels, he is Type 1 on Mixtard and generally tests before breakfast, lunch (occasionally), dinner and bedtime. Is this too much or not enough??
Thanks
