I watch what I eat and take the Metaformin and still I am getting terrible toe pain from nuropathy and half the time I can’t see to read or write a letter. Is my body still being damaged even though I am doing good at trying to control my blood sugar?????????
Diabetes is a progressive disease and doesn’t start at the time of diagnosis. Most diabetics have had it for a few years prior to diagnosis as their blood sugars were gradually creeping up. As we all know it’s a very individualized disease and you may had had some nerve damage occurring prior to and after diagnosis.
There are specialists that can definitively determine if that’s the case with both your feet and eyes.

The question? what is a "normal" fasting blood glucose?
MY answer: 70-100mg
Its a pity the Americans don’t stay off the UK and Ireland site. The information they give is toally wrong for the Uk market. We measure blood sugars in millimols per litre. A good figure is between 5 and 7.

A 12 year old girl with Type I Diabetes shows you how she checks her blood sugar level She was diagnosed 6 weeks ago after losing weight rapidly and drinking water all the time.
There are three ways , that I know of, to get test strips.
1. From a pharmacy. They keep them locked up behind the counter so you need to know what type of meter you have. The normal price for test strips are 25- $29. 50- $49 100- $89. They are expensive.
2. get your doctor to write a prescription if your insurance will pay for them
3. Some churches give away testing supplies to needed people. I have done this before when I was broke and it was very helpful. Your doctor should have a list of churches/organizations that do this.
Good Luck
