Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I am very new at this and at the mercy of my diabetes educator. She has me on 30 carbs 3 times a day plus of course a total 30 grams a day with 15 grams soluble and the protein I forgot lol well a small deck of cards size piece works for me. Actually I do eat soy products more than meat! Ok goofed today cause I was dizzy in the morn, didn't get a reading. I ate the recommended breakfast and lunch but did have coffee with sugar this afternoon. Before supper I was 114 2 hours after I was 179. Since I don't know what all this means there it is lol. Another small problem since I am so new. I stuck my self like the instructions told me with the spring loaded sticker. Couldn't get enough blood. Did it right where I was told. Turned the sticker to the deepest setting stuck myself again on the side of a different finger near the nail, pressing hard with the sicker against my finger. Still not enough. Took the lanclet out and stick it manually giving it a twist and sticking it in all the way. Guess what I need to say is I have extensive nerve and blood flow problems in my hands. I'm lucky don't have to say ouch cause I don't feel it. Second attempt to day I soaked my hands in warm water and this seems to be the solution unless someone has another idea. Actually I am new to the testing today is the first day.I did buy the wonderful book by Gretchen Becker! billijo wolfgrrrl productions fine art photography and graphics 1117 clinton ave south rochester new york 14620 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
