[QUOTE="HappyasLarry, post: 1325462, member: 121191"] I had the same. I was told it was not necessary for me to test. I totally disagree. It is my body, my disease and I want to do what I can to manage it. Like you I wanted to test myself, after all, blood sugar can be affected not only by food, but also by stress, illness, exercise etc and I have the right to know what is going on in my body. I bought my own meter and strips and have done so for quite a while. I want to know what foods I can eat and which spike me. Although I try to stick to lchf most of the time, I have found that I can eat some rice (which I love) which does not cause as much of a spike as bread or potatoes for me personally, although this might not be the same for the next person. It is an expense, the strips are expensive but I feel I have no choice. [/QUOTE]
