I don't have a clue they said I don't need a machine the last test before metformin was 8.4Well that's how I was diagnosed with diabetes. Are your bs levels under control?
I think my sugar must be quite high at the moment im feeling dizzy palpitations headacheBest advice lynn is to buy a codefree meter, the strips are £6 for 50, google it. You need to reduce your carbs so your levels come down. My hba1c was similar to yours when I was diagnosed. Who would have thought dizziness would equate to diabetes!

I was diagnosed the same way - I experienced dizziness (especially 2 hours or so after breakfast, and again in the early evening as I was going home from work), together with heart palpitations, sweatiness, brain fog, almost falling asleep after a meal.
All that's gone after I got my sugar levels down and kept them under control. I've no illusions that they would return if I lost control though

Thanks CatherineThat's the one.
There are some codes that you can use for a discount on strips. I'll tag @Bluetit1802, @Clivethedrive for them.

Thank you@lynn007 You are better ordering the Codefree direct from the supplier rather than Amazon. http://www.homehealth-uk.com/medical/blood_glucose_monitor_testing.htm
