Having exhausted myself (and all you kind people) with issues cholesterol. I decided time for something else. I had my usual lunch, egg, toast. cuppa soup, oat cake and a couple of finger slices of watermelon. What should I do now? Hey why not do a finger prick thingy and see what it is straight after eating. It was 5.8. Time for me to get back to the office...Hope you all have a good weekend.
 
Ooh, didn't realise you could get cholesterol testing kits....might to have to indulge. I'll see what it is when I go for my next bloods on Tuesday and if it's still up will definitely invest. Many thanks Sharron! 🙂

I think you will find Sharon meant she wasted a test strip by testing her blood sugars straight after eating 🙂 As you know the result is meaningless as it takes about 2 hours for the carb content to hit the blood sugars :D
 
How disappointing, had my hopes up then for a home testing kit! Thanks Sue x

What and have something else to worry about??? 😱
 
No no no, the BG is bad enough!
 
Sorry about the confusion Vonny, Sue is correct it was a testing strip. As for a cholestrol home testing kit, probably not for me, one can only experimentation so much.
