Arwen,get a meeter soon as u can,it has helped me alot in tracking my numbers so I would know what was working or not and what I needed to not eat.I was tested in Jan 2011 it wasnt till June 2011 that I had a second test wich was 6.6 up from 6.3.If I had a meeter sooner I would have not gotten to the higher count.I have a one touch Delica its really a good one for $20.00 its the test strips that are high about $60.00 for 100,I got mine threw disablity but you may beable to check with the diabetis assoication abut getting the things you need for less or maybe even free.I usely test somewhere betweeen under 100 up to 111,today was a big exception and my fault ..will not happen again,I test first thing in the morning when I get up only 3 times a week works well.Good luck if I can help let me know.Take care.
