I rang the doctor yesterday to find out what the last reading for my blood test was and they use a different system and the reading was 77 which was of no help to me, but during the conversation I mentioned I was trying to keep a check on my blood sugar and nearly everyone on this site recommended getting a meter, and being I had asked the surgery for one and I was told they only gave them to diabetes 1 patients. So I bought my own, so he asked me if I wanted a prescription for the strips and lances bearing in mind prescriptions are free in Wales I jumped at the chance! Then he asked me to call into the surgery to get a prescription and he said if the chemist doesn’t stock the items I need for my particular meter I could have a meter from them so I am delighted. My fasting test this morning was 10.4 still to high I know but it’s the lowest its been since I started testing on Monday.
