[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2076612, member: 503862"] Thank you re the HbA1c. I am really paranoid about that as I don't really know how I am doing. I only know that getting bloods down has not been a walk in the park for me. Even doing 800 cals a day for 8 weeks when I was also exercising an hour a day, only got my bloods down to 47 and my body, according to the doc, into starvation mode! Doc has said my HbA1c needs to be below 47 if I want to avoid meds. Regarding meter testing. I use Code Free but I find I can test 3 times with the same drop of blood yet have very different readings. Code Free might have the cheapest test strips but I am starting to think that the variance I see is too great to be completely confident in the product. I do know that sometimes it was me. I was just washing my hands without thinking but apparently according to one of the threads, even leaving soap on your hands can have an impact on the test. [/QUOTE]
