[QUOTE="Dave Brierley, post: 743612, member: 147197"] Hi and welcome, like the others have said regarding testing, just keep testing and the codefree is the cheapest around as the strips are £6 for fifty, although cheaper if bought in 250 and they also have a long use by date on them too. As for food "what you can and can't eat", just test and see, everyone is different in the reaction to carbs for e.g I can eat Apples and banana's, many can't, fruit bars are ok for me also I can also eat Albran but not cornflakes or weetabix. I've had to give up Guinness and beer but I can drink red wine. Your levels are really good. I spent quite a lot of time in supermarkets looking at food labels and not buying foods with a high carb level, but I've changed my attitude now from avoiding carbs outright to testing first then going on the test results as to wether I eat them foods again.
