Right. The reason I continue is it is possible and even likely that less control is likely to make it worse.

If I found the approach I am on difficult, I might change. But I don't and I actually feel so much better with lower caloric intake, no matter what sort.

I am prescribed 4 strips a day. I tend to horde them and do 8-12 tests a day tracking a full days progression- before meal, 1 hour and two hours after meal, more if the numbers are funny.

I also test after exertion of a mile walk or so.

I wonder if there is more that a diabetic angle, but I can't ignore it has a place at my table.
