I normally get 100 strips each prescription which lasts me 2 weeks but, due to the neck injury, rising BS & increased insulin The 2 caps I picked up last week only lasted me 1 week! I ordered some more & my health centre rang me yesterday to tell me they are giving me 2 new meters as they are discontinuing the Freestyle strips!
I picked up the new meters after lunch & the last 2 caps of Freestyle strips I ordered! So, I used both systems to see what the difference is & I’m pleased to see that they’re very similar! I ordered more strips for the new meters as I only got 20 starter strips, 10 each, from the 2 meter kits!
I was only out for a short while, an hour, but, my back & neck were killing me when I got back! So, needed 3 doses of paracetamol today! It was the first time I’ve been out of the house since Saturday & only because my neck had settled down yesterday & this morning!
I also got an appointment for Physio for 15/08/18. A bit longer than I’d like but, MUCH shorter than the 9 month wait a few years ago when I injured my shoulder & had Physio for 2 years before I could put my hair up!
Going to bed soon! Going out today tired me out!
Goodnight all & hope you all wake to another wonderful day! 🙂
I wasn’t the only one then! Hope you’re not coming down with something?
