Using MFP to track blood glucose, ketones, etc.
Members can add additional measurements /items to track here:

This is probably the best method for a measurement taken as often as once daily.
For more frequent tracking, these options might be more useful:

Where to Order Blood Ketone and Glucose Strips (with Insurance or Medicare)
I recently discovered this US company, which will work with your private insurance, Medicare, Medicard if you have a doctor's statement of need for blood ketone and/or blood glucose testing.
They send forms to your doctor to complete, then contact your insurer directly.

Here's a recent video by low-carb researcher and author Jeff Volek (Prof, OSU; co-founder, Virta), who has been doing research on low-carb diets for over 2 decades. He's a stick-to-the-facts speaker, no miracles and nothing to sell (other than knowledge).

Thank you for the information. I was told yesterday to start following a diabetic diet before I develop diabetes. My family has a history of diabetes both type 1 and type 2. I have just been tested and I don't have diabetes but my insulin is high and I was asked to follow the diet before I develop diabetes.1

Good for you getting out ahead of this. Most people/doctors don't realize high insulin is the first step toward diabetes. Dr. Joseph Kraft called it diabetes in situ.
As far as following a diabetic diet, you are in the right place. Whatever you do, do NOT follow what the ADA advises unless you want full blown T2. I know I am not the only one on here who saw A1c go up following their advice and then come down following LC.3
