[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1357642, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! Armed with a meter, you are ready to tackle this thing head on! :) I know it is tempting to think that the precise numbers on your meter screen are very important. But the reality is that it is the trends and troughs and peaks that are important. So it is less important to know that your readings were 4.2 and 6.7, and it is more important to know that a particular portion size of rice or noodles raised your blood glucose by 2.7 mmol/l. Therefore, even if your new meter reads a bit low, it can still give you very useful information. Your meter will also either reassure you that you are not diabetic, or will allow you to detect any movement towards diabetes. Hope that made sense. And congratulations on your English. Fantastic command of the language. [/QUOTE]
