Trouble with meter

Question:

I hope you guys can help me with this. I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and I’m using the AccuChek Advantage. The trouble is, I find that when I have my usual breakfast of a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, the numbers on the meter tend to edge up a bit. I can’t seem to find a switch on the meter to turn down the numbers, and I’ve misplaced the owner’s manual. Should I buy a new meter?

A dozen Krispy Kremes?  If you’re serious, you need more help than I can offer.  I suggest you contact a CDE or dietitian. Charles Evans

Yeah.  Elliot Carlin was the name of one of the patients from the old Bob Newhart show.  The one where he was a psychologist. — Type 2 http://www.redshift.com/~juliebove/

I found dropping it in the toliet works pretty well. other times a good ‘Whop’ with a hammer will cancel out the numbers, don
