Do they have an internet address or do mail order
Do they have an internet address or do mail orderI was able to buy 200+ lancet drums for £10 from a local pharmacy in Brumm, hope they still sell them:-o
I thought someone will askDo they have an internet address or do mail order
Thanks MosheBenYehuda. Hope works not too earlyI thought someone will ask
Tomorrow I work an early shift, so when I return, I'll pass by and ask all details for strips, lancet drums etc, and purchase options, and I'll post them here as soon as I can, OK?:-D
And to top a bit, I experimented again;-), this time lunch with couscous, which according to label has around 30% carbs, but according to a Harvard list, the lowest G load. I had about 4 spoonfuls with chicken and onion stew. Result:All right, 2hrs later, my royal breakfast gave a 5.2 reading
Not bad;-)
No, not at all, waking up at 4.15 am;-)Thanks MosheBenYehuda. Hope works not too early
Hope you get better soon, until then, have a merry wheelin' around:-DMonday, 4.20am. 4.9mmol. Had a bit of a ' Lost Weekend' spent with some American friends, with many traditional foods. I was made to sit down a lot, while things were brought to me to eat, which was lovely, and to drink, which was even better.
And on Sunday, I was taken out in a wheelchair for a push around the lake, by my athletic guests. Now they have all gone off to the ski lodge for a few days, and I am now back on my feet, with a new insight into the conditions endured by wheelchair users. Now I can get about and have found the iPad.
I have to say that I have been laughing a great deal, at the cartoons and rather like the idea of being 'our man down under',( thanks @Baruney), while not having the necessary underpinnings.. And oh, dear @ Pasha, I loved the emphatic capitals!
I have been given some very strong painkillers which make me feel exhausted and rather maudlin. So I am staying in bed this morning and foregoing a hobble on the hill .
Be well, everyone.! Hope your poor fingers recover soon, @Gezzabelle.
4:15 the last time I did that was last summer to take 26 teenages to a Christian youth festival. Camping for 6 days I must be MAD. I loved it and its strange not going this year.No, not at all, waking up at 4.15 am;-)

I know the feeling re wheelchair users and the conditions we face. I only use mine when really tired or go a fair way eg local big shopping centre. People love talking to your carer and not you. On cruthes etc you part visible, in a wheelchair and you can be invisible. Sorry if I'm moaning.Monday, 4.20am. 4.9mmol.

Cheers moshe' it takes a while to settle in on a figure for the type of daily work we do ,but with a bit of careful tweaking you'll be goodMorning Clive,
Hope you are OK both with and without your wheels;-)
I just remembered that a few months ago, when I was regularly using the Calorie Count, at a time when I didn't know how carbs were slowly destroying me, and consequently ate bread, potatos, rice, pasta, honey etc, my counts never went over 2000 calories a day. Despite my size and weight, I was never a big eater, this is why I was so frustrated about my Kilograms.
So I'll attempt a few counts, just to make sure.
Take care, Sir:-D
Great result for Lewis Hamilton. Perfect timing for the pit stop to put on intermediatesJust got back from silverstone ,long day from 6.45am to 21.45pm...my am fasting was 3.6

Yes various places locally sell the needle drums but they work out cheaper on Ebay as do the strip cassettes....still very expensive which makes them a non starter for me. I will use the Codefree meter and the Fastclix lancet...anything for less painful fingers. I was fine until I opened a new pack of lancets for the Codefree and soon after starting to use them my fingers have become ridiculously painful to the point where I have had to limit how many times I am testing daily to allow them to recover a little. Finding a Fastclix lancet on its own proved a non starter so bought the complete kit to get one. The meter will be a back up for the future should the Codefree fail at any time
