[QUOTE="cugila, post: 114250, member: 15325"] Dave . I fail to see how a change of meter can improve your Bg numbers ? That seems illogical. I also know what the OP was, however as with everything on this forum, questions are posed and the topic evolves. This area is called Diabetes Discussions. Anybody can throw their 'three pennorth' in. As for your own control, I have not said it's your fault at all. I have offered you some advice that the Insulin Pump Forum members may be able to assist you. Get those numbers under control. I thought that was a good idea ? So where have I said anything about the lack of control being your fault ? It might just be like many Diabetic's on here you have been given poor advice by HCP's ! If your hypo awareness is poor as you say, there is a way of getting it back, which I could post for you. As for the HbA1c result and my meter reading. My Endocrinologist thinks that it is a good way to check meter accuracy, he's the expert and I trust him. As for Mr Bernstein. Who is he ? We are not off topic, it is all about meter readings, accuracy and anything else in between. We don't restrict ourselves to one simple discussion on this forum. We believe in 'kicking' things around a bit and get all the facts out in the open. Debate/Discussion. That's how we all learn. As for a more accurate meter..... Would you really be prepared to pay £300 for a portable meter ?? There's no way I would. Cost comes into everything. They are not going to give the things away. The take up of something like that would be minimal at that cost. It will be some years before anything more accurate comes along. So, like I said, I'll stick with my inaccurate meter....suits me. I have tight control. [/QUOTE]
