So do you track your fasting blood-sugars in morning, then also 2 hours post meals, as seems to be most commonly suggested?
Or if you do track...do you prefer a different tracking schedule?
I never did track until 2 days ago.
Found out that, despite being on lowish carb diet of about 70 grams per day, my morning fasting BG's are about 110. Right after a big low carb meal as high as 230. 2 hours after a SMALL LC breakfast my BG reading is 86.
I'm horrified at my numbers, but really feel tracking is going to help me get my diet dialed in much better in the long-run.
Of course test strips tend to average about $1 per strip which can make this a mighty costly undertaking...but I found some that appear to run only about 19-cents per strip, and the meter also has great reviews on Amazon.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it. But you can find it on Amazon.com under "Diabetes Testing Kit (TrueResult Meter + 100 TrueTest Strips + 100 Active1st 30g Lancets + Lancing Device)"
Replacement strips for this meter are only 19 cents per.
