[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 145185, member: 1697"] well, LOL, I have been playing with this meter all evening. LOL. Now mind you when I was still working, I used an entirely different type meter, and sad truth is I HATED sticking people..LOL. I really thought I would do fine doing my shots, but- I found I depress plunger SO slowly! Yeesh! I do not ever mind getting shots from anyone else, but, noone here will do mine, so it takes me some time, and so I feared the lancet for the glucose meter....especially becuz I always felt the lancets can hurt more than a shot or blood draw. Maybe that does not make sense, BUT.....what can I say? So, the meter is a very very plain simple (cheap cheap) one....Partly chosen becuz I paid out of pocket for it and the strips, and also chosen for the cheap strips for it. The meter gives me a digital number.... as for lancet? LOL- I just finished....LOL- and yes, I kept moving my finger away..yes it is a triggered thingie---LOL and I had to set my finger on table becuz I kept pulling my finger away, too funny, and to my surprise, it did not hurt at all, thought I had missed yet again! LOL. Well, maybe if I do too many eventually it will hurt more, but this one did not hurt at all. YAY! BUT......to calibrate the test meter- it was not coming up right, I cleaned the whole thing and you have these control fluids to double check. It took a bit to get it to be right......but now I am not sure it IS right becuz......2.5 hours post dinner, it says my level is 63. Um, I do not think so! UNless I have too much insulin and am not useing it or whatever..... So, at the moment I am once again angry at darned GP......frustrated......and LOL. How goofy. I am not gonna worry about it much, tho-----becuz I FEEL ok. SO maybe it is just this machine, LOL. Or my lack of knowledge in useing it. This whole entire situation is just....well, interesting, I guess. LOL. I also got a couple more books etc about nutrition etc. SO before I go to sleep, I am gonna try to learn more. Seems I was seeing something about too little fat? I keep saying- so much to learn, and everytime I think I have learned a little more, I learn I have even more than I realized still to learn, LOL. Nutrition is such a HUGE subject! That Vegamite does sound .....interesting..... Hey, I was thinking all week hwhat a bummer it is that it is hard to find turkeys when it is nott a holiday and lo and behold, today my grocery did have them! On special sale, even. SO Sunday we are haveing turkey. Not a full blown meal deal, but- we are gonna have turkey. Thats one food the whole family loves, and I do not baste it with butter and I only like white meat..LOL.
