Well Atticus, there are a lot of wise and well-experienced PWD (persons with diabetes) here, and they're more than happy to share what they've learned. They've helped me more than I can ever thank them for!

So pull up a chair & ask all the questions you want . . . that's what we're here for!

Thank you for joining us!

don't yall run out of places to get jabbed?

I jab the same place every time . . . my left thumb. It's large, it's always handier than any other fingers, and since my "jabs" seem to heal shut almost instantly, there's never a problem. It doesn't get sore because I poke about four-five different places around the thumbnail.

I should also say, I had decided I would start my program on Monday (have plans for Super Bowl) so, for breakfast, I have buscuits and gravy and buiscuits with apple jelly

Atticus! You ornery pup!

If you had used your meter at 12:00 instead of 3:00, you'd hσve been horrified at the reading you got.

should I do it before I eat? after I eat? when?

Test before you eat for the baseline level. Test again one hour after your first bite for the spike you got from the meal. Test AGAIN two hours after your first bite, and you should be dropping back down to about where you were before you ate. This is how we determine which foods we can tolerate, and which ones we need to avoid. (avoid the ones that send you over 140 at either of the post meal readings)
