So I got myself a monitor after being told I don't need one by my Dr, from reading on here it looks very much a worthwhile addition to track how you are doing. What is the best way and times of using these? Once a day, twice a day, before meals after meals? After searching the internet I just...

I will have a look at that, thanks.
