Hi all...
Well, I got a meter from my doctor today (Freestyle Freedom Lite), and a prescription for strips and lancets. I was all set to do my first test this evening, and the strips weren't the right kind. I only have one that came with the monitor, so I'm going to save it for tomorrow morning.
I don't know if the pharmacy messed up, or if the prescription was wrong. Either way, it was kind of anti-climactic.
I was having trouble making myself hit the button on the lancet, so maybe the delay is for the best. I was holding it against my finger, but then I got all shaky and clammy. I know it's only a little poke, but I was scared.
Babyish and wimpy, I know. I'll definitely have to get over that, or this is going to be harder than I thought.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day as Scarlett O'Hara said. It's the first day of my new lifestyle. Kind of ironic that it's Halloween. Luckily, there's no school tomorrow, so I won't have to deal with that, too. Halloween also happens to be Nevada Day...so, 3-day weekend.
