I try to keep my post-meal one under 8.5 if I can, so if it goes over, i look at what I have eaten to see if I have had more carbs than perhaps is good for me, and cut down next time I have them.
For example, I can eat 1 slice of wholemeal bread in a meal, but not 2 cos I go up to nearly 9 when I have 2 slices. We are all different, so you may find different foods work for you. Your meter readings will help with this.
Dont be afraid to ask anything here. Someone will always come along and help. They have helped me loads and still help me when I have questions, even ones I think might be silly
Hugs.

So I will still be using my SDCodefree most of the time as I wont be able to afford to buy the expensive strips for my Glycomen meter. They are £22 for 50.
lucylocket61 said:Its a real worry to be given a meter by the nurse, and then not being able to use it for more than 9 or 10 days a month because of the cost of buying my own strips after that for 21 days or so. How do you manage with that or are you prescribed more strips Jeannemum ?
Its a good job I bought the SDCodefree and can use their cheap strips.
Sorry for the threadjack tolsn
