| | | What's your average reading at the moment?
Just out of interest...
Get your glucometer out. Press whatever combination of buttons you need to press and post what your average reading is.
Mine is a bit high at the moment so I'm not posting until others have  |

| | Mine is 8.2 at the moment which is seriously **** and annoying.
Over the last month or so my bg has just gone up for no reason,
so I've had to make some adustments and it's slowly getting back to normal. Pain in the rear end though!  8.2 is my 14 day average  But it was alot worse last week.

| | | not so good
Answer: 144 which is better than 158 last quarter - about 7.5% HBA1c when I was in school, under a great deal of stress and not eating right or working out. I am two months into my next HbA1c and hope to get it down another 8 - 10 points.
I actually chart mine in MSExcel (anal) - so I know which parts of the day I have to work on - Dr. loves it (was late night, now is late morning).

I THINK you multiply the reading by 18 but I could be wrong (and usually am) so I'm guessing 147.6?

| | | I knew it had something to do with the number 18...I think you're right. But a reading of 147 isn't bad....it's much better than a lot of other peoples....that's why I thought I was mistaken....
