[QUOTE="witan, post: 44814, member: 12474"] I'd say sue's advice for a newby is about right. Maybe for two or three months - that's a time of learning and experimentation. It not only teaches what foods do to you but also the typical variations that occur caused by your lifestyle. This will help determine how and when you test later on. If you have a very stable routine with home prepared meals and regular exercise then minimal testing may be all that's required as long as you know for sure you won't go outside normal levels on that regime, of course if you get sick or do have an enforced change more testing will be required. If your lifestyle is less stable, eating out, variable sports/exercise, chasing kids, changing shift patterns, stress and travel etc you'll still probably need to do three or more tests a day.
