Ran out of strips for the GlucoRx

Why are you using strip testers as well as the freestyle... I thought the Freestyle gives that information?
I have ordered a Freestyle Libre3 and was hoping that that would replace the strips??

7.6 - Went to bed on an 8.6! Good drop overnight of a whole point. I can live with that. Honestly, I don’t expect more. I’m content.

6.1 this morning. That is up from 4.9 which was the last reading before bed last night. I did have a small scotch though after the test as a night cap. I often see that the first reading after sleep is higher, but then settles down as the morning goes on.

Morning All. 8.1 this morning which isn’t good. I think I might have eaten too much roast pork yesterday, it was so nice. Have a good Monday if you can.

This morning
Libre 2.9
Tee2+ 3.2

And that is why in the mornings I tend to do both Libre and finger prick some times belt and braces is best.

I do get hypo once in a blue moon.

Sure, however it could have been worse. You’ll bounce-back-down, I know you will. Why? ‘Cos you’ve done it before .

Hello everybody.

A number is posts in this topic have been moved to a more chattier FBG thread for “driving off road.” Inspite of my mod team mates giving advice to stay on track.
Please be mindful of where you are actually posting.

There maybe further endorsements on members who continue to stray.

Peace out…

FBG Fingerprick 5.8 Libre 7.6 Could have picked me up off the floor! Definitely going with the fingerprick. Today is going to be a good day.

In effort to keep thread on track those that asked me questions I will PM or try to find the new thread later today.
