Hi sorry another question about glyclozide-

So if I set off for a coffee in morning- blood test before leaving -
Then go in shop for 5 minutes do I have to retest after that before I set off again?

I make loads of these little trips to shops then might sit in my car ten minutes

So my question is please do I really hace to test every single time?

I tested x7 times yesterday morning my poor fingers
 
I believe the rules are you have to test every two hours if you're driving , which is a bit silly as we know you can go from high to low in half that time so I would say a bit of common sense is needed if you are doing a lot of short journeys .
