I get mine from amazon. I just purchased the contour next as my old meter and strips have been discontinued. If you can get your numbers down through a low carb diet you MIGHT NOT have to test as frequently IF you are not going to be put on meds.

Completely agree. In all the years I e eaten them I’m yet to blend them in a smoothie. Just seems wrong. Either scoopnit out or mash it into something. Little shake of salt and heaven

I have asked. And even my doc. Was told they’re all similar haha. Great answer. I am going to suck it up when the time comes. I just don’t want to go in blind. I researched your meter and strips are ridiculous. I researched a ton and had to make a decision based on reviews and strip prices...

HA! Now they’re even more valuable to me. The price has dramatically dropped here. .88 for two medium. Crime in the avo fields must be down!

That’s what I’m trying to figure out right now. How to calibrate it for myself. And set a personal target number. I think my old meter is low and the new high. So I’m going to keep trending both for 50 strips and analyze it. I don’t want to hypo but I don’t want to be running high either so far...

That’s exactly what I do t like. That would require different insulin doses

Actually looks kind of tasty! Thanks

Lol. If only I liked green!!! I think the only thing I own that’s green is my avos!! I wish they came in yellow

I eat vlc and bolus for half my protein. So 30g of protein I would bolus as if it were 15 carbs, just like @the thrower. In the absense of carbs we will gluconeogenisis. It could be different if an isolated no carb meal but mine are always ultra low and protein will raise me just like carbs...

I know. Could be the A1C or the meter. No way to know for sure. Shame as an insulin user trying to stay in non diabetic ranges accuracy matters. This is why I eat low carb and small meals allowing me to take small doses and I can only hypo so far right? With the allowed 20% error if I’m sitting...

AND I prebolus 20 min as that’s when my insulin takes action. If I don’t I’ll miss the spike from the proteins fast action. You’ll have to test but MY protein turns to sugar immediately so I need insulin action before I eat. Also to add, if I eat more than 3 oz or very fatty meat I hav to...

Yes. Most times we cross check mine is low. The A1C says I average 100 and my meter readings are rarely over 100 which is why I believe the new one is more accurate. It’s reading closer to my A1C and it is consistently higher, averaging 13 higher which is spot on to match my A1C. I’ll finish the...

I am very low carb so I do take insulin for half my protein. If I eat three oz (21g) I count it as 10 carbs. If you’re low carb you will most likely turn protein into bg in the absense of carbs through gluconeogenisis

Those that have answered yes, is it all macros or just carbs or certain ones ?

so it’s time for a new meter. My old one was discontinued and I’m getting close to running out of strips by the end of the year. History. A1C last 4 6 month tests were 5.1 ( average 100 US). According to my meter readings I was always surprised as i thought it would be closer to 4.6 (85)...

My peak is, and always has been at or after two hours. That’s from vlc high fat and moderate protein.

Yes. Strangely ( but not for me, I always get the opposite of what it’s supposed to do) it GIVES me cramps and insomnia. Both of which it’s supposed to help! I get the, when I eat pumpkin seeds which are very high in mag.

I have the same one but no egg. 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons water. I live them with sage and oregano. I love them too much so stopped making them. They did freeze well but tasted just as good straight out of the freezer! Good but not good

Were you eating enough healthy fats? That a key roll in ketosis

Was it a very high fat meal? In MY opinion those numbers are still on the high end. Do you have any idea how many carbs you’re eating per day?
