[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1988051, member: 480869"] Sorry but this wouldn’t work for me. Your proposal gets you a fasting and before breakfast reading but doesn’t check for the effect of that meal around 8ish. You’ll get a post snack reading at 1pm but no idea of what it was before the snack so no idea of the rise The 1pm test will give you a pre dinner reading but you’ll have no after dinner reading The same with tea. You’ll have a pre tea reading but not an appropriate after tea. You’ll have no idea really what the food is doing to you and the food will have far more effect than the exercise. I know you want to hear the exercise will cancel out the sugar but it doesn’t. It does help your health it isn’t enough to tackle diabetes on its own imo. Is there a reason to only test 4 times a day? If it’s a limit to the strips I’d pick before and after breakfast giving meal info and a fasting reading and then before and after your evening main meal. If possible I’d also not snack at break time and just have a drink, or at the very least minimal carbs. The more times a day you eat the more insulin you’re pumping around for more time and this is not desirable. If you eat enough filling (fat) food at each meal and avoid the vCard swings and cravings snacks won’t be necessary pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
