Morning all,
A Question for the forum
just started my latest batch of 50 test strips (which are in date) and used the control solution level 2 and they were reading outside (high). Checked with level 3 and they were in range. Gluco Navii

The question is do I use them on throw them away, I have more on order?

Many thanks

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.3 for me this Sunday morning. I’ve not looked at the forecast yet so don’t know if I can get in a good walk, or if I’ll be indoors. Have a good day.
 
Good morning everyone an ok 8.2 this morning after a late dinner, a sunny dawn has just broken over the old Filton airport in Bristol so looks like a nice day ahead. Off to work now, I hope I can find a breakfast sandwich somewhere hotel is not doing any food because of lockdown.
Have a good one folks!!
 
Morning

No sign of the Superdrug order yesterday, got an email overnight saying it should be with me no later than Tuesday 🙄

@Snowwy how much is it out by? Did you just try 1 strip in that range?

9.1 for me, really struggling with judging what to do and don't know what my body expects from me, reduced yesterday's breakfast bolus by 1 unit and had 1 Lift, 3 hours later was still only 5.4 so took 2 Lifts, 40 minutes after that still only 5.4, come tea time I was up to 9.9 but didn't bother with correcting as was going for a shower and nearly fallen in the new bath a few times already so a hypo is unwanted in there and still came down to 6.7 by bedtime! 🙄

5.1 for me - same as yesterday. 🙂
Must've been the other half of the Godiva chocolate bar. 😎

Disappointing 7.5 today, think I had too much sauce in my prawn cocktail last night and 2 bits of 50/50 although I took the crusts off. Who knows, the whole damn D thing is still a mystery.
Lots of cleaning yesterday, 3 bedrooms, hall and the bathroom, will do downstairs today. Had a nice walk with hubby and the dog yesterday, just pounding the streets, too busy in the parks.

Ooh nearly forgot, some GOOD NEWS, got a letter from TFL to say they have cancelled my two fines amounting to £160 as they accepted that I was thick and unaware of the low emission charge and because it was a hospital appointment. I was very surprised but delighted.

Have a good day all x

Hi @Kaylz , thanks for coming back to me, the control solution range 2 is 90-140 mg/dl which is 5- 7.8 mmol/L the reading was 9.9 on the test strip. I did try another strip and it was 8.3 so still outside the range. You know how precious we are about our readings....
Oh btw my reading was 6.4 first thing ...

Maybe just struggle on until the next delivery comes and check them?

Thanks
 
07:54 BS 6.5 🙂 About the same as yesterday so, that’s consistent!

Barely out of breath yesterday moving around the kitchen while cooking so, definitely improving but, still mostly in bed: better than the first 36 hours when this started when I could barely move & wheezing hard despite all the inhalers; didn’t cook at all as the kitchen was too far to walk & ate cold tinned soup that I moved into a bag & took into the bedroom! 😱🙄🙂 Also, best night of sleep yet almost completely flat on 1 pillow rather than 2 or 1.5 pillows of the previous nights!:D Not quite at the bouncy bunny stage, yet but, getting there slowly!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

A brilliant result @SueEK :D😎

Strange, I was wondering yesterday where you’d got with this.

If I were you I'd continue with them, I wouldn't suggest it if you were an insulin user obviously but as you aren't it wouldn't be overly concerning, the 2nd wasn't much out so should be ok, if you have some left when you get your new ones I'd test again and report the issue to the manufacturers if it were still widely out though xx
 
Morning all, 5.7 here, after a lie in, I was still crawling along the top of the red during the wee small hours, and 4.3 at 7.30.
Is it worth a call to the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace them, @Snowwy ? Nothing ventured, nothing gained..
