You'll come to your own conclusions. If you're going to test for beer,  you need to note that alcohol will generally lower BG values. It seesm to do this by interfering with the liver adding glucose to your system. So you may get artificially low readings after alcohol, that don't reflect the carbs you've actually eaten.  I don't usually bother testing at all if I've had any alcohol with food, as it skews the results too much and you can't really judge how well you've handled the carbs. "... i have no idea if i still have some insulin that is helping me." This jumped out at me - I thought you said you are pre-diabetic?</blockquote>
