Hi. I have been watching the boards for a few weeks and have finally
got the nerve to post a question.

I recently got an AccuCheck from a friend and started using it
with a new set of test strips. The code has been set etc.. I have
been monitoring my sugar and checking it only in the morning it comes
up within 100 to 115. I have not been diagnosed with diabetes but I
am concerned due to the fact that everyone on my father's side of the
family has been diagnosed. I recently had a fasting glucose test at
the doctor's office and it came in at 80.

How accurate are these checkers? Should I worry? I am not
overweight and exercise 6 days a week (boxing, running, biking etc..)

If your hips are narrow (less than 35 inches), you may still have VAT
even though not overweight.

Most folks in the U.S. have VAT because most overeat (more than 32
ounces of food per day).

The model I am using is the AccuCheck Advantage. Should I get the test
solution to test the meter?

Would suggest you simply take the meter to your doctor's office to
compare side by side with the readings they get.

Does anyone know of any resources where I can get a meter at a cheap
cost?

Some of my patients have found the brand and Walmart to be both
inexpensive and reliable.

Thanks

You are welcome.

Redirecting all thanks and praises to GOD so that we will both be that
much more blessed (hungrier).

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:
