About testing. Be sure to wait for the blood drop symbol to appear on the little screen before putting your blood on. The number of strips I wasted before the penny dropped! hahaha.

It's not your fault kewhitty...that's a pretty standard response we get from many...including disappointingly some of our health care professionals...this is not a 'fault' based condition...once that diagnosis is made it should just be about how to manage it...I would ignore any negative response...you're taking an active approach to your diabetes...just concentrate on that...testing is a doddle really...once you get use your kit for a while... you'll wonder what you were worried about...it does get easier honestly...good luck.
