Was just thinking back to my diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. When i went to the doctors my blood sugar came up on the meter HIGH... It was too high for the meter to read i assume? But does anyone know what reading high is for the meter? I personally would class anything from my own readings over 20 as ridiculously high.

I believe it is in the region of 29 or 31. Something like that!

Personally I consider anything over 11 very high

Yeah think mine goes to about mid 30's....
Only seen it go there a few times.... Few times too many I know!

I always remember seeing it the first time after I was diagnosed, thought it was broke cause I read it as H1....
Was looking for ages through the manual and everything I could find for H1 and went through so many test strips!
Learnt pretty quickly!
 
I think most read hi or high at about 33.3


Type 2 diagnosed 24/01/2013.
Novomix 30, Victoza, metformin 2000mg sr (but not taking them as they play havoc with my insides,
 
When i was diagnosed my reading was 27.9 n i was told by the diabetic nurse i was prob more than that but the machine doesnt read anymore than that! I think it depends what machine too coz im a nurse n have seen that not all the machines have same capability as you all know n have seem some read more n some jus say high etc!
