Hi all, went to see my diabetes nurse last week and she recommended to me a continuous blood glucose meter and I wanna know if they are more or less helpful.
My blood sugars have been erratic lately especially at night. On Wednesday I checked them at 4am (7.6 mmol) and then pre-breakfast at 8:30am (23.6 mmol). On Thursday at 5:30am (6.5 mmol) and then at 9:15am (7.6 mmol). I told the diabetes nurse and she said that as long as they don't stay high and between 8 and 12 mmol when you test (which is 4 times a day) then they should be ok.
