Welcome to the forum! You'll find all the answers you need on the forum, and more, as well as a very friendly, supportive and helpful community.
This particular thread is for those who want to keep track of their first blood test every morning, but there are heaps of other threads, so have a browse through them and you'll be amazed at what you can find! And don't be disillusioned at your husband's levels at this stage - using what you'll learn on this site you will see those drop surprisingly quickly.
Meantime, I'm tagging @daisy1 who will send you a link to some information to get you started.
Good luck to you and your husband on this new journey.

hello everyone- I've joined this forum on behalf of my Hubby who has been told that he has high blood sugar ( seems to be a state secret at our surgery what that actually is and no one will share the info !) Bought a testing device and checked his first thing the other morning and it was 17 which reading all the threads here seems to be sky high , tested myself and I was 6. Only thing we have been told is that 'normal' is 6 or lower for non-diabetics.

not seen nurse yet (5 week wait for apps) so starting on cutting down the carbs and sugar....... am now feeling rather worried.
