I’ve finished my first full week "off contract", since I’m still working. I took 2 1/2 days of staff development, worked on curriculum and worked on the district final.
It’s been a good diabetes week. I saw my endo, and my A1C is at 7.7, down from 8.2. My blood pressure was 122 over 72. The endo said I was doing better.
I am trying a new meter which I really like. I’ll have to see how it is carrying around because it is a bit bigger. It’s an Accu-Chek Compact Plus meter, in black and it matches the pump. I really like the display, it’s very bright. I like that it takes AAA batteries, and that everything is one unit. It uses the Accu-Check drum, and the lancing device attaches to the meter. So far I’ve kept it as one unit.
I still have a lot of One Touch test strips, so I will probably swap back and forth.
Still waiting on the Dexcom software upgrade.
