I have Gestational Diabetes. When do I need to code my blood glucose meter?
Thursday, February 11th, 2010DiXie Darlin’ [><] asked:
I was recently diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I have been home testing since then and everything was fine. I coded my meter the very first time and my levels have been normal. All of a sudden for the last 2 days, my levels have been higher (with no new change in my diet). My meter is a OneTouch Ultra and I receive 4 vials of test strips (each vial contains 25 strips). All the vials in the 4 pack have code 25 on them. So I figured I just code it once using 25 and it was ready. Am I supposed to code it every time I open a new vial?? Or once I open a new 4 pack of vials? I am really confused and I hope my levels haven’t been wrong! I really need some help correcting this because I do not want to be put on insulin. Thanks

My sugar level keep rising and I’m dizzy?
Monday, February 1st, 2010Chelsea asked:
I was having reactive hypoglycemia episodes so my endocrinologist told me to eat small meals every 3 hours and it fixed it for a while, but tonight I eat some potato chips and 2 chicken strips and an hour later I ate the strips I started being dizzy.
My sugar was at 7.1, I drank water, hoping to “pee” the glucose in me, an hour later, still at 7.1 and now 2 hours later I’m at 8.0
I’ve never been this high.
I’m less dizzy, I took a short nap and I didn’t eat anything after that, but I’m worried and I don’t know what to do.
I also have nausea
