[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2149692, member: 345386"] With respect, HSSS. What the numbers mean is no more one size fits all than any way of eating or exercise regime. Someone coming here with an A1c of 100+, already taking stronger meds, such as Gliclazide, immediately telling them their range is 4-7 (or whatever) could be considered unhelpful and could certainly be considered dangerous, without a professional review of the medications that person is taking, Similarly for those with significant comorbidities, and less usual types of diabetes. And of course, the testing (and of course treatment) pathways differ completely for Type 1s, but how can anyone, at or near diagnosis recognise all these nuances. On a small matter of detail, every time you test your bloods, you are utilising a lancet. That the lancet is stored and delivered to your fingertip in a different way is a product feature. It doesn't mean the lancet is not in place. [/QUOTE]
