How many blood tests???? (Insulin Users Poll)

[MCH]

As mentioned on previous thread, I have been considering the idea of a poll about the number of blood tests we all do. Having asked for advice, I now think that 2 separate ones (insulin users and non- insulin users) would be a place to start. 🙂

It also occurred to me that rather than try ?a normal day? ? since very few of us have these - it would be better just to pick a day and see how many blood tests each of us actually did. 😉

I have chosen Wednesday 10th November as the date so if you wish to take part, please find the correct poll (I will post 2) and fill in your results. 🙂

I did 11 tests that day,

I had 1 hypo, drove and exercised.

I also did 11 before and after meals and drove the car

11 here also. Had night time hypo plus some random results that needed a careful watch.

For Carol this was a "normal" day. So, she only tested 3 times.

Just checked my meter and I did 5 that day. And as I write this felt the urge to test and guess what? I'm 2.8 and suddenly feeling it! 😱

I did 5 tests that day, pretty typical day for me, woke up high things settled down later though.

 

[katie]

So basically I should test more 🙄

 

[rossi_mac]

I did a massive 8, was a bit of a yo yo in the afternoon so 3 extra from a "normal" day, whatever that may be🙄

 

[FM001]

Not bad really as I just did 8 that day.

 

[rachelha]

Only 8 for me. One hypo in the afternoon, but the rest of my levels were pretty good. I only tested once during the night. 🙂
