meter

Hi all. After being diagnosed type 2 late November last year, I have completely changed my diet. I know with type 2 we don't have to use a meter to test, but I got one anyway & have just plucked up the courage to use it. I had a tub of low carb alpro yoghurt with blueberries & tested myself...

I was just checking my updated Amazon app, and it suggested several testing meters that looked interesting. While the meters aren't quite as cheap as the SD Code Free, the strips are less than £15 - £20 I keep hearing about. The listings for strips include lancets as well, which £8 Code Free...

Hi, I am getting set up to use my meter which arrived last week. I have realised I will need to buy lots more checking strips. I am confused as to lancets. The video link says change it every time, but one of the other links was by a chap who said he changed it every 150 tests...…… this is a...

Hi, I'm a newcomer, just diagnosed pre diabetes ( score 42). I want to keep a check on this, so bought a meter to check my levels. I have read the super post (called test, recheck?) On the site. What sort of levels/spikes etc should I be looking for. I have never been any good with numbers and...

Plucked up the courage to do my first testing of blood glucose levels. After two hours from eating a piece of toast and jam. 6.9mmol. So that's good! No spike! Decided I can afford to test three times a day. So will select when to test after certain meals and once I know that certain meals...

It's called the Contour Next One (because it's the next one in the Contour series?;)) and offers, amongst other things, direct smartphone connectivity (presumably via Bluetooth or NFC). I've requested a free upgrade from my Contour Next USB; let's see if I get one...

Hi everyone, My daughter is on the Aviva Insight pump, and we have had a few teething problems over the past few months. But nothing like this has happened before. We are unable to switch on or off the meter via the power button on top. Has anybody else had this problem???

I've been using a Nexus GlucoRX for the past 9 months and it seems to have been accurate - 5.1/5.2 fasting, down to 7 postprandial readings, lowest has been 4.0. But to save money, I've swtiched to the SD codefree yesterday, and found that the readings are about 10-15% higher on that, I've still...

Hi guys, Can I ask if there are any people with T2 who either use CGM or would be interested in doing so? Happy to have a more detailed discussion about this, but before this can I get a quick show of hands? Thanks, Bob

Well I've got the SD CodeFree meter. (had it more than a week.) No idea about finger pricking though. I was at the support group last night and a member there got it out and had a go with me. And someone had a go today. Last night (maybe 7:30) 6.6. Today, ate at 1:20pm, test at 3:37pm 6.5...

I've changed GP practice. Put the form in week ago last Friday. Got to see the diabetic nurse (practice nurse, had been Diabetic Specialist Nurse before) last Friday. I'm optimistic. Of course we didn't have time for everything. I think she'd have been less supportive of self testing. Except...
