I’ve been using a freestyle for 10 days. It was a free sample and has been such a success I’ve bought another. Though at nearly £50 a go I don’t see this as long term behaviour. I have learned that the ebbs and flows ofmy blood glucose follow a clear pattern and that the pattern is usually quite distinct from mealtimes etc. I'm following a keto diet, which may explain this. I discovered a small glass of milk can spike my bg like hell and the time between the ingestion and the spike is very short. No more milk in tea. Luckily I get on fine with a slice of lemon. I got stuck during the week somewhere that I could only buy a sandwich, so that was my supper one night. It wrecked my bg for about 12 hrs and led to spikes all the next day. We all knew that but to watch it recorded is quite something. Apart from that according to the freestyle the keto diet is performing as expected - as I enter the 5th week the blood glucose becomes more and more consistent and is on a steady downward path.
