    Is it just me?

    Testing every two hours or 1 hour after food?

    I must admit that I don't test every hour either. I have been eating what the Keto and low carb information has told me to eat. I do know that after the 2 hours mark when I test, the result of my monitor says between 5.6 to 6.1 with the foods that I eat. I think that testing every hour would...

    What do you eat when going out?

    I go for meat and veg also, or meat and salad. I don't go out as much for a meal because I feel that the food I cook has more variety. Paying for just steak and salad or veg to me is a waste of money lol. Also they never seem to have the veg that I want..Some will just do carrots and peas to...
