I am a type one on levemir and novo rapid.
Today I bought a watermelon, & ate about a six inch piece.
There was a small puddle of water on my plate and was curious as to how much sugar was in the watermelon.
So I got a little of the fluid on my finger and let the one touch verio blood strip suck it in.
I was dumbfounded when the result came out as High above 33.3mmols.
Or higher than the meter goes.
It's a fruit, and would never expected this.
I probably could have had a cake or ice cream and there would have been less sugar in it.
Call it fructose, it's still sugar.
