It’s just so unpractical and uncomfortable. I will never get the hang of it! Does this make me a not so good diabetic?
Meter out>strip out> lancet out> test>dispose of strip and packet> sore finger> blood on oneself/furniture> back into pouch.
There has to be an easier way?
The CGM looks like the perfect solution….but they are expensive and temperamental by all accounts.
Any tips on making it easier?
We need a device that’s like the lancet thing, so when you click it, it then punctures the skin, takes some blood and then gives you a reading. It would be soooo much easier – do you know what I mean?
I know I won’t be alone on this one….it’s horrible. I must check my sugars 4 times a month max! I’ve stopped requesting strips because I am just wasting money. Seriously if you need strips I can put them in the post!
It’s a bit like dieting for me….it lasts a few weeks then I just give up
Ps – and the Drs look at you like you have six heads if you tell them you’re not testing he he.
Peace out.
