[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2037346, member: 501623"] Clearly advice only for the obsessive ;). I was obsessed during my first couple of weeks. I felt like a science experiment to myself. But the cost of strips was not an issue for me and I wake once or twice a night to pee being very pregnant and having toddlers in the house who also wake me so there was not much adjustment to my lifestyle, except I do have sore fingers now... You only have to test like this for a day and then do the night time thing a week later and you can find out a lot. I think once you work out what your regular meals are doing to you and tweak them (lower the carb element and up the fats and maybe proteins, or just eat a few more veges) you won't have to test much after that once you get confident that what you've just put in your mouth isn't going to give you too much of a rise. Is that how you feel? And for sure, if you are not sleeping well, that probably affects your morning fasting levels, and possibly overall blood sugar levels, doesn't it? Don't wake yourself up for a test then if you are sleeping soundly. But if you happen to be up in the night for some other reason, do a quick test and see, otherwise if my morning fasting levels were in the normal range, I wouldn't worry about it. [/QUOTE]
