[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 496191, member: 55568"] They are worth their weight in gold for anyone willing to use the data. It took me about 3 months to work out what effect certain foods had on me and, once I understood that I could eat this but should avoid that, I could work out a diet. Then I started to use the meter to see if the diet was working, so early morning tests, tests last thing at night and also occasional before and after meal tests, to see the effect of certain foods. Another 3 months of doing that and I started to see the early morning readings slowly going down and, after one year, my HBA1c is back in the normal range. I also found that I became tolerant to some foods which used to spike my BG levels, if eaten in moderation. Knowing what is going on is important for anyone who wants to attempt to manage their condition. The NHS can't be bothered to test you regularly enough and you could go months eating the wrong things if you relied on them. [/QUOTE]
