[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1248876, member: 326717"] Hi Coby, I have one of these meters too. Although the instruction book looks a little scary, you can start testing your glucose straightaway without setting up the time, etc. So long as you record your glucose scores and the time it was taken in the little book provided, you'll be fine. There is a quick-start information sheet with the Codefree too, so you'll be able to work out which end of the strip needs to go in the meter, and how you set up your lancet pen. As you get more confident with testing, you can set up all the other things gradually. I haven't bothered setting up the before or after meals indicator as I have a pretty good idea of when I ate. I just set up the time function. Even if you can only test at the times of the day you mention, it's better than not testing at all as it helps to build up a picture of what your glucose is doing throughout the day. Once you get used to testing it takes seconds and you may feel up to testing more often. Good luck - you are not alone - and don't neglect your health. Let caring begin with yourself and direct it outwards. [/QUOTE]
