[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2445532, member: 401801"] Probably. ;) And you wouldn't go wrong with one of the meters [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] mentioned a few posts back. It's the strips that are the main expense, so best to get a meter with affordable ones. The first year I tested, I spent exactly a thousand euro's on strips. I didn't know how to measure effectively until i came on here, so I measured all the time. ;) Just test before a meal and 2 hours after the first bite, you're looking for a rise of no more than 2.0 mmol/l. If it's that or under, it's a meal worth repeating. And yeah.. It's all a lot easier to sort out if you have a meter to log your progress, and tell you what works for you and what doesn't. ;).
