T has been having good readings (by which I mean lower than 10 mmol). He had a 2 hour post dinner* reading of 7.9 mmol and was worried that the monitor might be inaccurate and so tried with the same batch of strips using monitor #2**.
Monitor #2 read 7.1 mmol. He has ordered some of the control solution to calibrate the monitors - don't know why they weren't supplied with some, but hey ho!
Even if the readings aren't accurate, I think there is a consistent downward trend in his readings since he started to monitor his blood glucose levels.
*Pork loin steak cooked with a little olive oil in a foil parcel, beans from the garden, carrots from Co-op, and boiled potatoes. And gravy that went out of date at about the time the B was born - what can I say? It's been a busy 17 months!
**First one was purchased to keep track of blood glucose when we went to Center Parcs, the second was given to T free by Lloyds chemists after he spent a while talking them into it. Now he has a backup to use at work if he needs it. They are both Accu-Chek Aviva Nanos with Multiclix lancet devices (aka as 'the stabby things' in this house).
