[QUOTE="djsb, post: 2423779, member: 546351"] Hi, I've just got back from the Chemist. I've been prescribed Diagemet XL 500mg (Metformin) (1 tablet twice per day) and Atorvastatin 40mg (1 tablet per day). Hope there are no major side effects from these drugs. Review is in January. Did my first test with the Gluco Navii at 12:37 (did not follow directions properly and used the first drop of blood instead of the second, so result may not be accurate) and measured 21.00. I then did a second test at 12:46 and measured 19.8. I normally eat a sandwich, but only had an apple today. Have had nothing else to eat all afternoon, I will test again around 4:30pm before my sandwich lunch and then 2 hours after first bite. I'm not starting the meds until the morning. I have a follow-up doctor's appointment next Thursday. So I will be expected to give the drugs a try. Are these meters to be trusted? Strange that the readings from the hospital test are so high, and yet the meter shows them dropping within 10 minutes. [/QUOTE]
