I am recently diagnosed pre-diabetic. Prescribed Met. I was really sick for awhile and suspected my blood sugar was too low.
After scouring these forums and others. Everyone recommends TESTING. Fasting, pre-meal, post meal etc. Everyone says test, test, test.
So, I went to Target and got an Easy Pro (cheapest) took me a while to figure it out and I wasted tons and tons of strips. One try in 8 I would get a reading. I figured it must be the meter.
So, I went and bought an ultra-mini. Same thing. I just can’t get a good drop of blood for the meter to take. Er 5. I bought a the Ultra Mini on Sat and I’ve already wasted about 25 strips! AND my forearms and inner wrists are bruised. I try an average of 6 times before I get a reading. Is this normal?
How can I improve?
What’s the DEAL?:mad: 🙁
