Grand National started at 5:15pm today, I'd dinner ready so the family sat down for dinner at the same time.
Myself & the good lady had the same portion of pasta, bolognaise & garlic bread.
My Accu-Chek meter has a cassette that has 50 tests but expires after a few months, I'd 3 tests left but it expires at midnight so I decided it was time to poke her finger.
Took a 1 hour reading (chasing the spike), mine have been tumbling lately.
I read 5.7 & she was 6.3, off she went with her usual "you're not diabetic, told you".
She had GD on our last child so knows what a diabetic reading looks like, she's never seen my dodgy ones.
Anyway, here I am, a diagnosed diabetic for life while someone with greater insulin resistance doesn't carry that badge.
Has anyone tested non-diabetic family or friends & had better readings.
