So did a finger prick test today, I am now doing them less frequently, rather than every day, as they have settled down and the novelty factor has now worn off. But anyway I digress, did my finger prick test, put it through the BG monitor, and it was 9.5! What the hell!

Then, I slowly realised I was reading the BG monitor upside down/round the wrong way. On turning it round it was the usual 5.6.

Panic over..... 🙂

At least it didn’t spell out any rude words, like the calculator?
