2. Your meter can even help you socially. If you are at a dinner party and they serve you something you really hate, you can test and then exclaim, "Oh, guess I can’t eat that!"

This is my fav. have used it and will continue to if there is something I don't want to do!!!!

If you dislike pricking your finger to give the meter a drop of your blood, you might consider how we checked our levels before blood glucose meters were invented. Checking your urine wasn’t nearly as accurate, a bit unpleasant, and certainly not something you would do in public.
depends on where you live, been some places where that wouldn't have bothered the Folks at all, as they already were well versed in "Poor Potty Training Etiquette and Manners"
