Hello,
My name is Rebecca and I'm new here.A friend signed me up for the Reversing Diabetes FB page and I started the LCHF program about 6 weeks ago. I've read all the material I can find from Dr. Westman. I've only lost about 3 pounds, but have steadily been in moderate ketosis. I'm continuing onward, regardless. I'm on 3 medications that make losing weight very difficult, so I'm keeping that in mind.
My questions centers around recommended brands for glucose monitors. I saw a thread on the FB page that had a discussion about different ones, but I can't find it now! I'm pre-diabetic and my pain management physician wants me to start taking readings twice daily since I've had so many epidural steroid injections and this can impact blood sugars as well as oral medications that can impact my ability to lose weight. He will write an order once I decide which model I want. It will be covered by my insurance.
I know folks here aren't physicians, but I'd love to hear from other members about their experiences with monitors.
Thanks for creating this discussion board!
Rebecca
