I also have low thyroid and sometimes if your range fluctuates it can make your
fluid levels fluctuate adding to eye problems as well as many others.
Thought this info could be useful.
On the other hand, I would check with my doctor to make "sure"
that it's not prediabetes, kidneys or macular degeneration etc.
I have heard of this sticks but the ones I've seen were high priced.
I've thought about using the template plastic. Glue more than one together
so they would hold up a bit better. I would wear my klutz-y glove, bc I

You do need to accurately fold your fabric twice (cutting 4 layers at once) to make it all fit under the dimensions of the ruler, but I haven't found this to be an issue for me yet. Highly recommend for accurate strips without spending a ton on a machine like the GO!

by golly, you are right! yes, I would think they'd want to make a better

After reading this thread, I realized my idea for making my own sticks is not
such a good idea.
Maybe getting some plexiglass cut, hmmm....
