Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hi I have posted before to let everybody know who I was and ask about depression. I have had the newbies letter and have been reading through the posts and am totally confused. I live in the UK and we pay a subsidised price for our meters and our strips and lancets are provided on prescription free of charge as our meds if we are diabetic. The reason I am confused is my meter comes out with figures ranging between 0.1 to 30.0 or somewhere close, not in the 100's like you guys are talking about. I can't relate the 2 sets of values. I am type 2 taking Metformin 500mg 3x a day, Glimepiride 2 mg 1x a day and Perindopril 2mg 1x a day. You tell people to test at least 4 times a day. Better to test 1 hr and 2 hours after food to see what the spike is. My General Practitioner and the nurse at the diabetic clinic attached to the doctors surgery said I only need to test twice a week. Being a newbie at this I haven't got a clue and to say that the whole subject scares me is an understatement. I know we British are supposed to be good at understatements but please somebody help me. regards Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
