I don't like them, but...bread & butter sweet pickle mix thin slice green tomatoes pickled, on a ham and cheese sandwich;

You mean pickle bread, pickles crossed breed with a green tomato, pickle in the ham, and pickles in the cheese?

Okay thank you!!! This is a relief!! I was freaking out a bit thinking it was prediabetic or close cause I thought I read something aha

But oh wow that’s crazy high!

My little tiny numbers and worrying probably seems ridiculous then.

I had not eaten yet when I took it, had last eaten at around 3 or 4 am, so it was basically fasting but maybe the sugar or whatever from the day before was still in there.

I would like to at least call the doctor though and find out what my numbers were just to know for sure but seems like it’s not a big deal or anything to really worry over?

Which is weird because they seem to think so

Definitely still get the numbers from the doctor. You are entitled to know what the tests showed.
Definitely discuss with the doctor what range is ok for you.
I can only tell you that your numbers are NOT dangerously high.
I can also say you don't want them to go to low either. Readings 50-60 call for immediate action....glass of milk, 6-8 oz of orange juice sort of action.

I doubt you will ever see readings that low. Normal (unmedicated) people don't drop that low without feeling it first....that hangry sets in before then.

Yeah or any thrilling pursuits or odd stories or whatever probably not allowed to share most of it though? But OMG that sounds terrifying!!! glad you’re okay!! I’m guessing it’s nothing like TV!?

Actually, I would rather not detail anymore on that subject. But I can tell you about Blu, my crazy roo!

You have a crazy roo?
Do tell!

My avatar is a crazy rooster. He likes to attempt sticking his beak up my shirt. I have no idea why??? And he likes to be as close to me as possible. My other roo isn't at all like him!

Maybe he is trying for tummy tickles.

Yeah!! And I’ve tried it on a bunch of the different settings as well as multiple different places on the fingers and usually squeeze it to make drops come out and all that but it keeps being annoying!

Even if it looks like enough to me. I even usually dip it in it again when it says it needs more but I think maybe I’m just really bad at it.

I have the finger thingy on the highest setting and even figured out which location gives the most blood but still.

Maybe I need to try massaging my hands before I poke them or wiggling them around or something first haha maybe warm water?

I have been through this with my Husband. You can get different test strips that don't require so much blood! You will need a new reader also. My husband went to the class at the hospital and the nurse/instructor took a look at what he was doing and said the brand that was ordered for him just took too much blood to fill that end part. I don't know if this helps or what your Doctor/insurance allows.

Happy Easter everyone.

Thanks again!!! Good to know. I don’t think they’re purposely keeping the results from me or anything but maybe forgot or something. Idk. I’m gonna call tomorrow I think.

And that’s a huge relief!! Thanks!! I just checked it at 8:30 and it was 116

I’m not sure why the fasting is so high but yet after eat it’s so low

And I’m sure it’s not really “high” but still.
I hadn’t eaten since like 7:30 last night (except a few prunes maybe at 9:30 or 10) so true fasting and I hadn’t even moved out of bed yet so no exercise lowering it.

I’m going to have to carry the thing around and check it cause sometimes I’ve felt kind of weird or weak or whatever and then I try juice and I’m fine but maybe placebo or something aha

But I need to carry it around and check. Problem is I haven’t felt like that in a while and when I do, never know when I’m going to. Sometimes happens after too much exercise though.
