[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1697703, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome aboard! If you intend to be proactive and stop yourself from crossing the line to diabetes, then you do need to self test. A meter will guide you with your food choices. By testing before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite and keeping a food diary you will see at a glance what that food has done to your levels. With a bit of analysis you will be able to experiment, reduce portion sizes of the carbs, or eliminate certain foods completely. Without a meter you are working blind. You will have no idea which are your personal danger foods, and will have to wait for your next lot of blood tests to see if you are getting it right or not. By that time it may be too late. [/QUOTE]
