I'll need to get some tips from you, would be ideal to have a nice accurate reading before I head off for my 3 months bloods!

It's a great tool, I love it. You can head out for meals, drinks etc and just a simple swipe to let you know if things are in check. A simple swipe can indicate if you're high or low and then that'll trigger me to check my actual blood and correct as required nice an early to bring my blood sugar down or up so as to avoid a hypo - even before my body tells me I'm low with shaking and sweaty palms. Great for keeping the A1c in check.

Many thanks. I am still in the honey moon phase and so I guess that helps. I would simply like to keep my A1c 6.5% or below and thus doing the best I can to avoid complications.

I find it easier to control my diabetes whilst flying as I'm strapped to a seat all day, it moves very little!
