[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1503941, member: 85785"] The most important thing about testing is the trends you will see over time, the individual reading is not as important as it only gives you an idea of how your blood glucose levels are now! If you are responding to how you are feeling, that is another use. You use the tools you have to see if the low carb reduction is affecting your insulin resistance, your fasting levels and your spikes, to track how different food or combination of foods can be used to give you a better control of your levels. That is why a food diary is more important in the long run. If your glucometer(s) reading is around what you want it to be, around normal levels after two hours, one or two percentage points is not that critical. And I would recommend only using one monitor. Confusion on top of all the advice you are getting is something you don't need! Not bad results tho! [/QUOTE]
