  • Accurate Blood Glucose Meter

    Looking for advice on a personal glucose meter. A1C was fine according to my personal doctor, but fasting glucose was 114 just before my operation.

    Time to get a meter and see what is really going on.

    Looking for advice on a known accurate meter.

    Thanks
    Sam

      Coop, I couldn't find the meter comparison chart. That link brings me to a urine strip chart.

      I don't know why I'm looking anyway, I have to use the Precision Xtra, that's what the AF will prescribe strips for.

        Cheryl,

        I just edited my post, above. After looking at what I already posted, I noticed the same thing that you did!!

        So sorry about that!!

          Hello Sam
          I just wanted to welcome you to our ADBB family

          I dont have any firsthand experience of diabetes, but since my husband (who is also called Sam) has been Atkineering with me he has found that his type 2 diabetes seems to have improved to the stage that he no longer needs to take special medication!!

          I wish you well in your journey towards better health with the Atkins Way of Eating.
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



          Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
