You went back to finger sticks? I am floored. Do you follow a strict low carb diet? How often are you exercising?


Definitely not low carb, no. I have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast 4-6 times a week :) My diet is pretty consistent though. I know how that oatmeal will respond to insulin 90% of the time, and the remaining 10% random quirks I can just deal with by feel & a finger prick to confirm. The thing I'm most strict about is I only allow myself to have about one "bad diabetes meal" per week. So that's like any restaurant food, or doughnuts, or pizza, or whatever. I mostly only eat home made meals, my wife & I both love to cook. But those aren't low carb, just whatever we feel like cooking that week.

I walk about a mile a day, to the bus & back for work and a bit for leisure and to get up from my desk. Otherwise I don't exercise.
