[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2410085, member: 401801"] The second test is mainly to confirm the accuracy of the first one, and considering the numbers of the first test, no... Not likely to drop enough in 2 weeks' time to give a non-diabetic result, as it's a 3 month average they're testing for. But you'll see a reduction, which'll basically mean you do have a say in how this whole diabetes thing is going to play out. That's empowering, really. I'm five years in, just about, and it does become second nature. Beans and sweet potato would spike me too. It's a learning curve, you'll get it. We all make mistakes right at the get-go. And use as many fingers as you want. Just always stab at the side of the finger as suggested, because the pad has a lot of nerve endings. Stock photo's with people testing in the middle of the finger are usually made of people who haven't tested before in their life. ;) [/QUOTE]
