Normally pretty high between 13-20, I was just surprised that gp thought my first reading of day was ok and since they've upped my metformin I'm having tummy issues (ibs sufferer)

Welcome to the forum, it took me about 10 days to get mine down to under 7.0 from a high 19.4 so hang in there.

6.3 this morning. Is anyone having trouble with bruising at the test sites on the tips of your fingers?

Goodness, another hypo, 3.5 for the second consecutive day and that's after dropping the evening Gliclazide a few days ago. Guess I now have to decrease the Lantus by two units to 6 units.

Oh how I am enjoying breakfast!

[QUOTE="4ratbags, post: 1270621, member: 102832" Where abouts on the tips of.your fingers are you testing @Paul3613.[/QUOTE]
I've tried the sides & the tops I find the little fingers tend to bruise the most. Has anyone tried any different sites?
