lane, the free aviva monitor i received via internet promotion had several test trips included i can see how 'free blood glucose' test would appeal to people but my point was a one time 'stick and read' is of little or no value (unless it's ridiculously high and that prompts a visit to the doctor for an a1c test) i'm not diabetic nor pre-diabetic, but i'm testing my blood glucose now because i want to see what kinds of foods spike my normal BG (as the oatmeal did the other day) i'm perplexed at why, despite doing the no wheat, no sugar, no cornstarch approach since late december i have not lost any weight...i don't have a lot to lose, but i'm definitely on the high side of my BMI where i feel comfortable...weight loss wasn't my immediate goal, as i am following the TYP program to lower my LDL and reverse my heart scan numbers, but i assumed weight loss would be a natural 'side effect'....nope, at least not yet....so i'm testing my BG to see if i am indeed insulin resistant to even moderate GI foods like oatmeal (it appears that i am)
