[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1604114, member: 21149"] Although many of us welcome knowing where our BS is and hence use a meter, some like yourself would rather not and that's fine. It's most important if you are on insulin or know that you have widely fluctuating sugars. Keep up the low-carb diet but don't worry about the occasional bit of fruit or carb or even an occasional really carby celebration! This is where the meter can help guide you. I'm not sure who may have guided you on the 3 litres day of water? If it's for a medical condition then fine or if you like it also fine but other than that there is no reason to have that amount. The (in)famous 'have 2 litres a day' is merely an invention and not based on any good science; just make sure you don't get de-hydrated. [/QUOTE]
