I finally started testing this week after ignoring the meter and supplies box last week. Tuesday had a high of 265 and made calls to the Doctors office.

I just got afternoon numbers (before lunch) of 136 & 140, I washed my hands again and tested twice because I thought it was wrong.

Thanks for the support
Remi

A great start. now keep testing for the next month on a regular schedule. This should give you some insite into how your body is dealing with your BS.
Congrats.

Thanks Sarg, I see the dietitian this week. It's gonna be very interesting to see what she says.

This should be fun

NOT WASHING THE HANDS WITH OR WITHOUT SOAP WILL CAUSE THE NUMBERS TO GO UP. YOUR BODY OIL WILL RAISE THE NUMBERS BY AS MUCH A 100 IN YOUR READINGS. FOUND THAT OUT THE HARD WAY, OH WELL LIVE A LEARN... AFTER THAT I JUST WATCH WHAT I EAT OR DRINK. I STILL USE SUGAR IN MY COFFEE BUT MY NUMBERS STAY AROUND 110 SO I JUST WATCH, AN STAY AWAY FROM HIGH SUGAR ITEMS. THIS HELPS IN THE CONTROL.....

HI Remi,

Just hang in there, we all had to make adjustments and get ourselves on track with everything that's needed to maintain good health. Keep on testing and tell yourself this for my fight to make it. You're doing great and just don't quit okay.

Hugs and Kisses

Thank you.....I'm not there yet but I'm trying really hard.

Temptation is a tough one for me, I have resisted ordering the large pizza with everything on it.

Bye
