[QUOTE="cornylady, post: 2708907, member: 585018"] I set mine manually to 3.9 to 8.5. I had read somewhere about keeping below 8.5 but I can't remember where now and that seemed more reasonable as I also thought 10 seemed too high. I initially found I checked my levels religiously but now I find I feel more relaxed but appreciate the overview so I can see what is happening. I had to take a short course of steroids recently and it was eye opening to see how it messed with my BG but having the monitor allowed me to feel still in control. I definitely find it useful. It has enabled me to bring HbA1c from 55 to 41 in the first 3 months of diagnosis and I am continuing as aiming for mid 30's. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
