[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2084783, member: 401801"] Good morning! Is this diet working for you personally? Do you feel alright on it? Then I don't see why you'd have to splash out on a Freestyle just so you can have and check carbs you don't actually want. And for the record, if my bloodglucose hits 8 or nine, I feel it too. Normally I stay under 6,5 (and if I do get a rise it's either dawn phenomenon, illness or a steroid shot, so those are all all liver dumps). But if someone decides to serve me a salad with unlisted honey and apple in it (it was lovely, but oh, ****!), and my BS goes up to 7-something? I get wobbly in my legs, a little nausiated and very cranky. Not to mention palpatations and whatnot. Kindof the same response I'd have to a hypo. So it's not between your ears. Like [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] said, our bodies like keeping things on an even keel and protests some when anything changes. You don't actually need carbs. I know I don't, and I hover around a max of 20 grams a day. I know people who eat even less of them than I do, (actually zero carbs a day!) right here on the forum. And they haven't dropped dead yet either. So you do what you feel is right for [I]you[/I]. If that's carby eating with a freestyle to monitor what's going on, do it, if it's seeing a dietician, do... But you could also save that money and have a nice weekend out. Do whatever you feel is right. Good luck!:) Jo [/QUOTE]
