[QUOTE="Muddles, post: 1066510, member: 269233"] My monitor and other bits arrived this morning quite early, the driver said they had only just received the parcel overnight. Homehealth say the parcel was despatched the same day I ordered, and it was for some unknown reason held up at the couriers hub before despatching it to the Truro depot. Anyway it's here, and I'm quite pleased with it. Not used it yet, as it says it has to be 'primed' with some liquid before use to check its working properly and it should be carried out by a health professional, so I'll take it with me Wednesday when I go for my second HBA1c test, for the nurse to do. I've set it up in every other way, with date/alarms etc. Yes Zand, I often get problems with some couriers here, the property was only built in 2014, and if people put the postcode into their satnavs it takes them to a totally different location about 10 miles away. So I always explain this if I can to whoever I'm buying goods from if they're delivered by courier. Although now, most companies have updated their satnav databases. I've been struggling finding things to eat, I've cut out pasta, rice and bread, and just ordered my online groceries with ASDA and ordered some Burgens bread after reading on here it's very good. I have plain oatmeal biscuits and crackers but not sure if I should eat those and if so how many are permitted. It's quite confusing at the moment. I've also bought a blood pressure monitor because my BP keeps going up sky high and then back to normal, probably due to anxiety attacks about havng diabetes. I've always suffered with them but been able to control them for the last few years, but struggling a bit now with the impending diabetes diagnosis. The first HBA1c test showed thyroid problems so I'm now on tablets for that and also tablets for high BP. I felt fine until I had the drug allergy/reaction to that anti depressant a couple of weeks ago, now I feel like death warmed up, and it's brought all these things to the surface. Sorry for the rant lol [/QUOTE]
