Had my bloods done today. Clinic next week. Really hoping after being really careful for a change this is the best yet.
After 28 years, I can dream. It is Christmas after all !!

what's you BG meter telling you?

 

[Sara J]

Oh I don't know !!

Last check in Aug was 9.2. Worst for a while.
Been really good, praying for 7.

 

[jack412]

have a think about getting your own SD codefree meter, which has the cheapest strips, that way you can see if your diet is keeping your BG under control and adjust meals where needed

if you buy extra boxes of strips there is a discount code ..5 packs 264086

Sarah is T1, Jack, according to her profile?

Sara - does your meter not average or calculate an estimated HbA1c?

 

[jack412]

silly me I thought sara was t2 sara would already have a meter.
if your numbers have been better, your A1c should be fine

Hopefully so Sara J, good luck and do come back and say what results you get

My meter gives me a range of low medium ( in range) & high.

Yes, of course I'll report back
