| Especially at this early stage, I'd suggest you test quite abit. I used 4x a day at that point (when I was dxed earlier this year). A morning and bedtime test, just to give me ideas of my baseline, and than one set of pre and post meal (one day I'd do breakfast, the next lunch, and so forth). That's given me enough of an idea to know how my body usually responds to things, and so can make meal choices from there. I mix my testing up a bit now. Some days I'll do 1/day (the morning) just to give my fingers a vacation, some days 5-7 when I'm trying to figure something out (like on Thursdays I'm unable to eat at home, and eating out can be really fussy).
It gets expensive and painful, but everyone is different, and the only person who can figure out your details is... you. |
