Yes little fingers tend to bear the brunt and bruise easily I find!

I've tried the sides & the tops I find the little fingers tend to bruise the most. Has anyone tried any different sites?[/QUOTE]
I try every finger at first but now avoid little finger and thumb because I find them very sensitive and painful. LOL the amount of holes on my fingers makes me wonder how long can thy survive my abuse.

Ohhh I would try LCHF,Lower carbs and higher fat. I have eaten that for going on 5 weeks now and I haven't felt hungry.

My fingers are getting quite sore recently as I now test mostly on my right hand as the levels are always lower on that side.
My readings through the day are normally pretty high 15-20. I have found the only way I have low readings is if I don't eat at all during the day so maybe just nèed to be eating once per day. I'm on metformin mr 3x daily (2@night 1@morning) though it is playing havoc with my ibs which since they have upped dose is pretty uncontrollable. Yeah it's taken me a while to get my head around it and have realised how seriously I need to take it. Still I'm losing weight which is good . Just wish I wasn't so tired all the time.

Your body needs fuel throughout the day. By starving yourself you will make the sugar levels worse. Many here advocate the LCHF diet which is backed by scientific research to be extremely beneficial to diabetics here. There is information about the diet on the website or you can Google.
If you are losing weight it will be stored fat and eventually that can cause ketones which you don't want.
I can't remember if you are a new member, If so - Look at other new member posts here where the moderator, Daisy, posts general and useful advice for new members.
Your numbers are very high. You may need medication/stronger medication until your new LCHF diet starts working.
