Sorry @Mel dCP can we confirm whether you changed the whole thing or just the pointy bit? just wondering if this means the end of THE world or just the end of our world..............

Was clearing out a cupboard at the weekend and found a whole box of pointy things, and a box of syringes!
 
Just the pointy bit. I was testing husband and son this morning. T2 runs very strongly in both their families, and with my T1 possibly having a genetic element, I check them every couple of months. Son came in at 4.6; husbeast at 5.4

I’m not telling you what it was at bedtime though as that was not quite so good. Sigh.

Tbh, when I have high, highs, I tend not to post, because I feel frustrated and tend to berate myself

Terrible, that slaughters my 12.7 from missing 1.5u by undercalculating rice content of a homemade curry at a friends.

just between you and me @slip (promise not to tell) 13.7 which was more to do with a comforting Tunnocks wafer than stress.

Another vote for Accu Chek FastClix. When diagnosed I got an Aviva meter and an Abbot Freestyle meter (for ketone testing) and my DSN took the lancet out of the Freestyle box and told me to only use the FastClix.

I agree that Accuchek are great. I use the Softclix - I have really wussy fingertips that bleed if you look at 'em, just about. I use the Softclix on the lowest possible setting - not even on 1.
 
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Do you think this will sync on the libre app? or is it just the reader only? I use my phone and the app for the sensor and the meter/reader for BG readings or cross checking.
 
I think I'd ask your dsn - if she hasn't got any, so be it. And if it has to be the GP she can tell you that.
 
I've always gotten kit like that from my DSN and supplies for it (lancet drums) on my repeat prescription from GP.
 
Thank you, i'll let everyone know the outcome. Unfortunately I didn't get a lancet device with my freestyle meter, so I'm just using an old generic one from another meter. It's good to have spares though, right?
 
Oh yum. I am having warm banana bread with chocolate chips on top!
 
@MeiChanski I'm with @WuTwo on the finger pricker, I use an AccuChek SoftClix. I have an AccuChek Mobile meter and the SoftClix attaches to that so it's really convenient. The Mobile takes little drums of lancets so you don't have to keep finding somewhere to put used strips though you need to put expired drums in a sharps bin
 
I. am. fighting. an. urge. to. Rage. Bolus.

Thank you for reading, enjoy your day.
