glucometers - no LC content
When I went to the pharamacy after my diagnosis, they sold me a OneTouch Ultramini. I have used this with OneTouch test strips, but the cost for them is very high. I have now been through 50 Equate strips ($13.99) and almost 50 of the GenUltimate strips ($9.99). The Equate strips with the new code seemed to get identical…

Thoughts on Sola Bread, Mission Low Carb, and Katalina Crunch
I'm wondering if you eat these and are fine or get stalled, kicked out of ketosis? I need some bread supplement to stay on track. I have been off and restarting.
