[QUOTE="Totto, post: 964833, member: 91524"] For some reason your fingertips get the BG message faster than arms but it is possible to test on your arm too. At least my Freestyle finger pricker has a separate thing to use on arms. And haven't I heard it's possible to use earlobes too? And you prick your fingers on the side. You'll soon get used to it and after a couple of pots of test strips you'll know quite a lot about what affects BG so don't have to test as often. You didn't cause your diabetes. It's genetic or in some cases autoimmune or even a mix. Ice cream might not be problem if you make it yourself. I have one of those ice creams makers and it's very handy. I must admit to having the occasional ice cream when out too, two or three a year so far but only when I really, really want one. Bluetit gave you a few very good links, check them out. I only want to add [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
