"Thanks Trudy and Kelly. Yeah, I have lots of backups. I keep my Ping upstairs, and have a goodly few downstairs plus a meter in my handbag. I just got some control solution for the one that kept reading high, and it said it was fine but I put the…"
Kelly WPA replied to Sick of TYPE 1's discussion 'Does anyone else's body not respond the same from day to day?'"I had the same thought as Trudy about the meter - I probably would not have thought that if you had not said you did not think it really was 500.

I am not…"
Trudy replied to Sick of TYPE 1's discussion 'Does anyone else's body not respond the same from day to day?'"Hi Laura. Having a reading of 500, which is not really 500, is a terrible situation.

- Remember to stand back and give yourself credit for doing what you do to keep yourself healthy -- being diabetic is a lot of work, I think I may just be starting to move past the "honeymoon" phase and experiencing for the first time the frustration of unpredictable "all over the place for no reason" readings. We are kind of asked to be superhuman, in my opinion, to try and think like we're our own pancreas, after never really being acquainted with it before! Hang in there...Delete Comment
