Glad you got over your anxiety re: finger pricking - it gets a bit easier as you go along. You might want to check if your insurance will cover the strips, if you have insurance from work -( Green Shield are beggars with the strips if you aren't T1, but I do get some through them and then self fund the rest - keep your receipts for tax purposes!) You will find that it is surprising what will raise your bs and what won't......that will help you tremendously. I wouldn't put any stock into the FBS as the ole liver likes to dump glucose into our system if we haven't eaten for a while....it is often the last number to come down into range too for most of us, so give it time - it is only one number of many.....Keep up the good work and nice to have another Canadian on board (I'm actually from the USA but have lived in Canada for 46 years - think I am Canadian most of the time<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />) Blessings/L</blockquote>
