Sounds like you should see your GP, a leaking lump doesn’t sound good.Today was started on 5.8, getting concerned about my leg, it's started leaking again and the lump keeps inflating full of err liquid but that won't stop this waddling machine just alters my route to a more flat and even walkway...unfortunately I live on a hill and they do have their downsides but circles are cool so today will be spent going around and around.
Hi @ianpspurs is there a reason for you doubting your meter. You just seem to be a little down lately is why i asked. I sometimes doubt mine as well.Morning all. 5.3 is what the meter showed - reality may well be different.
Hi @Moggely Not down just realising the need to remember the difference/gap between meter readings and hba1c levels. I have read threads on here arguing for reliance on one or the other. Clearly, there is a real level which could well be different to both meter and a1c. I would expect to be a little more "suss" about readings, diet etc after 3 years so cautious rather than world weary or down is how I would characterise my status atm.Hi @ianpspurs is there a reason for you doubting your meter.

I have no scientific or absolute numbers but many members see differences between their meter readings and the a1c result. I have never had the same results from last 6 lab tests variation- up to .4 either way.hi what is the gap between the two readings? ive got a blood test in about two weeks {i requested one for two months after last result which came out at 5.5} my fasting levels have at a guess avereged high 5s
Another in the 7's @ally1 great news.
