Every morning once because I don't get the equipment I have to buy it myself strips and lancets I bought a reader for the computer this is brilliant it takes the readings from the Accu machine and gives you a graph of your progress Down from 11.5 to 6.8 over a 8 month period slow but sure
I test every New pot with the standard test
That they sell low 2.5 high 17.6 or something like that. keep my pots in study a little room that dose not change in temperature alot
I was told the same thing with sugars and carbs but then started to count all carbs as sugars it made a hell of a difference, have one small slice of bread one small scoop of potatoes no rice or pasta it's hard getting used to eating like this but worth it
