Hi
I downloaded my contour usb figures and charged her up today, I try and do it monthly at least. Well today I properly-ish went through it all and produced those monthly reports.
It appears I test pretty much 174 times a month apart from one month when I tested 201 times! I am generally happy with things, sometimes a bit low but hey that's me! So I guess I would like to get better control, not sure if I can or if it would be detremental, i.e. a lot of work and make me think about nothing but the D as apposed to living with it just get me depressed etc etc.
My weekly summary doesn't show too much to me. The % in and out of range is interesting though, and I'm thinking that is how I can try and reign this in a wee bit. The range is set at 4.0 - 9.0, I'm generally 3% under range, but 16-23% above range. So I'm thinking of changing the range to 4.0 - 8.0 or maybe 8.5, so if I start to see the out of range figure increase a lot more I will be more careful it may take a few months but if I stick to it I will eventually try harder to understand things, and maybe live a healthier life?
Don't get me wrong I is 'appy just been thinking about getting into the 5.x hba1c club (currently 6.4) and not getting too complacent.
So guys / gals what do you think?
Many thanks you kind people,
Rossi 🙂
