Update of my readings etc.

:? I finally got to see my practice nurse today. Armed with all the questions from a month of advice and tips from the good people here. It worked out very good. First I have lost 8lbs since the 18th May. ( appx 2lbs a week ). I found out my initial test with a meter at the chemist was 13.8 ! My second test with a meter at the med centre was 13.2. I had fasting bloods taken 3 days later. The result from the lab was 9.8. Not good but a lot better than the first test.
Been awaiting a meter as you all will probably know. Mehdave sent me one and I messed up the testing. ( Not enough blood on absorbtion strip ). Got some more test strips and tested properly today. Before B/Fast 4.9, ( Low ? ) after 2 hrs I was 5.0. Just before my tea it was 5.0 got to wait 2 hrs now. Looking good though. I am doing something right.
By the way, my practice nurse has put my strips and lancets on prescription for me. I would say results all round. Any thoughts ? Special thanks to Mehdave and Sid Bonkers and catherinecherub.

Some people might stockpile a few strips while they are on script, I wish I had, I can't even get a single strip, I buy my own. Well done on the BGs, keep it like that and your HbA1c should be in the 5% range.
