Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 895488" data-attributes="member: 88961">Please be vigilant for more than a few tests; just to make sure the lower readings aren't a blip.  (Sorry, don't mean to rain on your barbie....)As far as your strips are concerned, you need to be a little careful how you manage and store them.  I think for mine (SD Codefree), the box suggests keeping them to under 32c, so leaving them in a car, in the sun, or in direct sunlight isn't a great idea.  Moisture is also a potential contaminant, so snap the cap closed as soon as you can after taking a strip out, and never take a few strips out to store in your wallet, to save you carrying the whole pot.  That's just a recipe for a magical mystery tour.If you have continued concerns, you should have a chat with your GP.  Unless your numbers fly up again, I'd suggest your holiday is likely to do you more good than the levels you have experienced doing you harm.  You certainly don't want to be running at those levels longer term, but a short period is unlikely to have caused anything catastrophic.If you levels fly up again, you must ask your doctor to consider if testing you for other forms of diabetes, as I would suggest it's unusual for T2 to deteriorate that quickly unless other matters are in play, like stress, a virus or general infection just being examples.Have a wonderful holiday.</blockquote>
