No fluke. Remember Prof Redknapp's book - just eat yer ****** greens and move abart a bit (Got him houses on Sandbanks so must be good advice)

Morning all,

10.6 this morning.

5.2 @ 6.00 am. Best result for the last week. Maybe due to no treats yesterday and a 4 mile run/walk (legs are suffering this morning though)

Morning 7.3 today

6.0 for myself, yesterday's waddle was educational as I still have a walking stick after an accident years ago, I ventured without the stick because I don't need it, as most men will understand, and lets just say I made it back but only just, hehe, sooo my new conundrum is with or without and which waddle I take, WOOP, WOOP luvin' life and its intricacies.

5.8 for me today

Good morning all. 5.9 fbs for me.

I pay £5.98 per tub of 50, by buying 5 or 10 tubs at a time with discount codes for Code Free strips from Home Health. That works out at $20.36 Canadian dollars for 100 strips, so compared to you we get off lightly by the looks of it!

Rachox, thanks for the information. It is really interesting to note and compare prices and countries. I agree, it is expensive in Canada compared to Britain and other countries. How are diabetics going to monitor their blood sugars if the strips are so expensive and the lower income people are unable to afford them? They don't care, do they?

It's a journey I guess

yes the journey is best when counting the number of grams of carbs one eat in a day and stay under 100 grams of carbs in total in a day

In Switzerland the test strips are also expensive - a tub of 50 strips (Contour Next) costs equivalent of £45. This is why I’m glad my sickness insurance pays mine. Most foreign suppliers will not ship to Switzerland.
