[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1450276, member: 355878"] I found having a meter very useful indeed - it confirmed which foods to avoid, showed me how I was succeeding and that when I should be sticking to eating a low carb diet I was doing no good for my numbers if I ate too many grapes or strawberries, and how long it took to get back to where I had been. Far from worrying it was comforting to have that as backup - and I saw the meter in lidl with 75 strips for under £30 so it was an easy purchase, and I have bought another 3X75 sets from Germany (I think) which, as I don't need to test all the time now should last a good long time. I started out as full blown diabetic with a 'very bad' Hba1c test of 91 - according to the doctor. By the second test I was not even in the diabetic range - by one number, but I'd expected to be working on that for a year, not less than 3 months. [/QUOTE]
