5.8 on Swipey, Disaster darling, disaster. Yes, Craig, yes but I don't think my bg has much to do with my wellbeing. Keep Drs sweet at A1c and move on is a plan. Welcome @coby.

9.1 this morning

 

[Estragon]

Erm, 4.9 this afternoon… Does this mean I can have Fish ‘n Chips, for supper? Guess not, huh?

 

[karen8967]

5.6 for me

 

[Estragon]

6.9 - Yesterday was 6.1. And yes, yes, yes, I did have Fish ‘n Chips last night . I’ll keep an eye on the numbers today. Another evidenced-based day of “stabbing”.

Have a good Saturday, Folkies!

 

[Andydragon]

6.1, have been running higher than I normally do for a few days. Hopefully not a sign of anything

I was asked in the Low Chat forum about having TWO machines. My reply got tooooo long, so I’m rather posting it here. It may give others an alternative to gaining results at home……

Although I use my original as a Control/Check infrequently. Maybe once in 4 months. However, as you can see, this can be confusing. For the last six months, I use a cute lil, Agamatrix Bluetooth gizmo, which connects directly to my iPhone and iPad and syncs my numbers to my devices. I get results in all sorts of ways: Tables; Graphs; I can set my own Ranges and tap in notes on food and so on; and I could/can produce a Text report which I could even post/deliver here, and bore you’ll further

Morning All. 6.0 an hour later than usual…without lie in I might have been a 5.

 

[Ryhia]

4.9 this morning.

Looking on Amazon the strips are about £15.00.

I sometimes use Tee2+ also has Bluetooth and SmartLog App the strips for the Tee2+ are somewhat cheaper.

The CareSens Dual also works with smartlog app but also can use Ketone strips the glucose test strips for this meter are about £15.00 also.

Both are from the same company Spirit Health
