Hi Guys and Girls
I received my tester Friday Morning by post complete with the extra bits. (needles and "swabs" etc) so after practicing with the supplied swabs and cocking it up several times with the test fluid, I have now managed to get it to work??? Well I am old so machinery and instructions mean nothing to me, (Its a Spark and male thing)
my question is what does a reading of 9 mean??? my average was 11.5 with using the test fluid and my blood. the 9 was from my blood. I had eaten about three hours before and had just had one glass of red wine, so this was still a test for me but I need to know what the numbers mean. can anyone help?
I am recently diagnosed with T2 (Jan 2018) and still struggling with medication and its effects on me. (Metformin 750 slow release) I have lost approx. 11-12 lbs in weight by following a Carbohydrate 50g per day (or less) eating regime.
