[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 2061782, member: 460785"] I would say a month's supply is no way near enough. However I can only go by my own experience. At the beginning I made loads of mistakes. My meter guided me. When I got a higher reading than I thought I should have, out came the packet from the bin. I would pour over it until I found the culprit. One example I have quoted before. I bought a frozen guinea fowl for an easy Easter dinner. 1.4 carbs, sounded great. I spiked something rotten. Read the packet. Additional ingredients included glucose syrup, dextrose etc. Don't rely on carbs reading on the packet. You need to read the ingredients as well. Testing is not forever. Once your levels are where you want them and you know what you are doing. There is no point in checking whether bacon and egg spikes you when you've been eating a while and it hasn't in the past. I would always have it in my arsenal to make sure I was staying on the straight and narrow. [/QUOTE]
