How often do you need to check it Glam? And how do you monitor it?

3 times a day (an hour after food) on alternate days and do a fasting one once a week.
I have a blood monitoring machine - so I put a test strip in the bottom, use a pen type contraption with a lancet in (small needle) and !!!!! my finger. I then wipe the blood on the test strip and it tells me what my blood sugar levels are.

I'm now eating jelly babies to try and boost it - I probably should have toast but I only had my tea an hour ago!

Don't even now what it means! I guess I should be trying to eat snacks as well as my 3 meals!

I am so clueless about medical things. Sounds like a lot of hassle, but definitely necessary and worthwhile doing. Bye for now. x

Phew, I finally remembered where the fan was and set it up. I feel like a reasonable human being instead of a big fat sweaty monster.
