You can learn how particular foods affect your blood glucose -- that could be helpful. For example, some people seem to get spikes from artificial sweeteners, while others don't. On the other hand, protein doesn't usually raise blood glucose much, but could spike insulin (there's no meter for insulin response).
For me, the primary way to lose weight is to lower insulin. And so I eat almost no carbs, moderate protein, and moderate-high fat. Since I'm not diabetic, I don't get much use out of knowing my BG, although I test on occasion. There is very little more I can do to lose weight, other than to fast -- which is what I do.
