    Hi Lizzy, thank you. I haven't got a meter yet but am looking into it. I think it would be handy to know how certain foods affect me. I'd like to know what level, if any, of carbs I could have. Will definitely have a look at that app, thanks. I've always shied away from cauliflower rice, but...
