After 5 years I started taking it seriously and got a free testing machine (I think from Boots) and managed to persuade my doctor to prescribe the strips. My measurements were in the range to 10.4 to 13.5. I also got referred to a dietician. I gave up smoking and sugar and made a determined effort to lose weight. Lost over 22kgs; walk when I can and my bloods range fro 5.5 to 9.5. My 3 month hb1ac averages 6.3. I have now reduced my testing as I know what effect certain foods have. I suggest you go back to your doctor and show him this post and hope he/she cares enough about your welfare to help you achieve your goals.</p></blockquote><p></p>
