Cheers again gals. I would have to get my diabetes monitor thingie checked out - possibly recalibrated - if I was to use it again. It's been four years since it was last used!
For the record, I'm not a coke drinker but it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think "sugar hit" Then again, we bought a caramel cheesecake last Sat for adults to eat at our son's 4th b'day party. I reckon that was the biggest sugar hit I've had in months. Delicious ... but oh, so sweet!!
Thanks for putting the quantity of glucose into perspective L&B. I'm sure I'll be doing the GTT (if I do it) given my past history with GD.
i'm not sure what brand of glucose monitor you have but i hadn't used mine for over 2.5 years & it didn't seem to work. i took it to a NDSS approved chemist & they tested it for me. they couldn't get it working either so they replaced it for free. great service!
Im curious about other options too. Since having ds ive cut sugar out of my diet cuz it causes other health issues for me. So I don't particularly want to guzzle a bottle of sugar!
