[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1961309, member: 94045"] Hi [USER=438128]@dannysmam[/USER] The SD Biosensor is the Codefree meter unless I am very much mistaken. The Biosensor bit is the name of the manufacturer. This meter has the cheapest strips and is one of the most popular meters for self funders on this forum. What I suggest is you take the meter to your next nurse appointment and ask her to test you with her machine and then test yourself with yours at the same time, for comparison. However, you must wash your hands and dry them thoroughly. It is all too easy to blame a meter when it could be any number of other things. I suggest you test more frequently at home - before each meal and 2 hours after first bite. This will show you instantly what that meal did to your glucose levels and give you chance to reduce some of the carbs or eliminate some completely. Doing this alongside a food diary will very quickly produce patterns you can learn from. You are prepared for the Prostap to possibly be increasing your levels, but it may also be causing your raging hunger. Have you checked on the possible side effects of it, or done some research?
