 Not sure if it quite got hijacked. We just meandered a little. So here's
what I know so far. The accucheck guide does still use strips.
But, you can use the entire strip. Meaning that there isn't one specific
point on the strip you have to touch to get the sample analyzed. So it
sounds like it should be easier. We did one test while I was there. It gave
me a reading of 157, and my Dexcom was 152, so pretty good. It beeps when it
has the blood, which with my hearing loss, I'm not sure how it will work. It
looks like it has a diary for saving entries and dealing with meals, and
probably a lot of things I won't really need. We also went over my sugars
from my Dexcom for the past 2 weeks, and my educater said my sugar looks
really well controled. And I'm very proud of myself, because with my guide
dog, I got to my appointment all by myself. My husband dropped me off at the
entrance of the hospital and went on to his own appointment at a different
hospital. So a big yay! for Domino and me. Now that I have the accucheck
guide home, I'm hoping I'll be able to use it on my own.
