[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1582577, member: 242273"] Welcome to the forum [USER=441978]@ExoticBehemoth[/USER] .When you are looking at the different types of BG monitor available take into account the cost of the strips. These are the on-going expense and you will get through a lot if it is to be any use to you with modifying your diet. Be prepared to keep a food and exercise diary, then test before a meal and two hours after you start to eat. The difference between the two readings should be less than 2, if it is more then there is something in the meal that you are reacting to. I was surprised to find that I could no longer tolerate wheat products, even if they are in with savoury foods. Also remember that each finger has two sides and to rotate the finger that you use to test. Walking is a cheap form of exercise and often does the trick with bringing down the BG, it has the advantage of not needing expensive equipment and can be fitted around other points in the day. We often mistake being busy with being active, but even standing rather than sitting makes a small difference. [/QUOTE]
