I had a chance yesterday to go pickup the one touch blood suger testing equipment. There were three packages. One was the actual testing device (no thanks to my insurance company had to fork up $60 to buy it myself since they only cover testing strips) , the other
was the needles and the third was the testing strip. I tried it with their test droplets and it seemed pretty easy. Funny enough when I started poking my fingers I kept dropping the blood on the wrong side of the strip and the device kept complaining "not enough blood : retest" so after poking myself on the same finger 5 times I figured out how to use the thing. Doctor's orders I need to test several times during the day. On tuesday before lunch I tested it was 95. After eating subway turkey sandwich (with no cheese or sauces) it jumped to 145 which according to them is still the healthy range. They mentioned 270 and above or 60 below are dangerous. phew :-) Lets see how excercising over time changes the values on this.
