[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1279042, member: 88961"] To be honest, Kevin, testing once a day is better than nothing, but to learn most, most quickly, an intensive programmes of testing before and after every meal would be a significant advantage. Doing that you can learn how your body reacts to the food [I]you[/I] like to eat. The tricky thing about this condition is that it impacts everyone differently. OK, there are common trends where lots find that bread, or breakfast cereal or potato, or rice (and of course all the obviously sugary things) impacts them, but some finds they're ok with something unexpected. For example, I have always been able to eat rice without too many issues, and [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] finds she can handle some sweet things better than foods containing wheat (I think). For ma, that personal information is important. Who wants to shun foods they enjoy if they don't have to? It may be that you don't have enough strips to do that, but if that's the case, it really would still be worthwhile perhaps testing breakfast one day, lunch the next and dinner the day after, and back around again. The fasting number is just a stab in the day, and many have found the figure which can least reflect their overall control. [/QUOTE]
