you can buy everything you need at a drugstore, gonna cost about 100+ in lymans terms going to need a reader a poker and test strips... it is what diabetics do about 10 times a day lol going to put the test strip into the reader then poke your finger and put a drop of blood on the test strip that is sticking out of the reader that will tell you your blood sugar...test first thing in the am as soon as you wake up, should be under 100 then check after you eat, will jump up bigtime on high carb meal,, but should drop back to normal withen 2 hrs.. also when you go to doc and you pee into a cup he is checking sugar.... but for 100 bucks or so you can check yourself... pm me with any ques. i know a lot about diabetics i am not one but my family is full of em ...
