I have run out of test strips and currently can't afford to replace them, or the meter as I'm not sure it was working correctly.
Hi. If strips are expensive for you then look on eBay. Many of these are ex-prescription so you need to decide about the ethics but if you have a genuine need then it's an option. BTW those number don't sound too bad currently but try ketostix as well as the occasional 2hour test.@catapillar My blood sugar was usually between 8 and 11, but I'm not sure the meter always worked correctly as often it would say 3.6 or low, so I would try again and it would give a completely different number so I am unsure on specific numbers. I will look into buying a ketostix, I did go back to the doctors last week (for an unrelated issue) and mentioned the weight loss and that I'm still experiencing extreme thirst. The doctor didn't seem too concerned and ordered another hba1c which I had on Monday and just awaiting the results. Going to the doctors concerns me because they so far have not been particularly supportive and I don't feel I can ask any questions, often feeling like I'm wasting their time!
@AtkinsMo Thank you for the food suggestions and advice, I will have to try some
