[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1373676, member: 93504"] [USER=369716]@AL100[/USER] and [USER=371322]@catephoenix[/USER] You are both new to diabetes and, I presume new to low carb and extra exercise. At this stage, I would definitely recommend buying and using a blood sugar meter. It's your response to particular meals and foodstuffs which is important and should be tested, until you are really confident that you know how you will react to different things and what you must absolutely avoid. After nearly four years of non-diabetic readings and no meds, my husband only tests very occasionally, just out of curiosity. We now know exactly what he does and does not eat, but until you reach this stage, you could be going way off, without any idea that you could be harming yourself. Even if you think your diet is fine, if you get a raised result in 12 months time, it won't tell you what is causing it. Annual blood sugar tests are more for the doctor's tick box (getting paid) scheme than for your information. As for feeling as if you have an illness if you test, my husband suddenly felt more well than he had for years, a new man, as a result of testing and finding out where the problems lay.
