Glucose monitor, strips, lancets and sharps box, software downloaded and I will hopefully get all the stuff next week and can do some checking on blood glucose levels and see where it is all heading. The software looks cool and you can do all sorts of averages and trend monitoring.
It will give me some ammunition and give me enough data to discuss what needs to be done, if anything. I'd be very surprised if I have any problems but there you go forearmed is forewarned etc. It will also be interesting to see how the diet I am on is affecting my blood.
On the FOCC experiment - today I tried 3 cottage cheese to one Flax Seed Oil and then added some tomato puree to make it into a marie rose type sauce and whilst the tomato made a bit of difference it didn't make it much nicer. I shall try various options until I get something that is palatable. My pH remains at 7.5 and above although early this morning it was as acid as I've ever seen it but then again I had been out eating and drinking the day before. Although I tried to keep to diet it was almost impossible. I enjoyed the food and the company and the drink too and this Thursday is also another difficult day too. Anyway the main thing is that I know enough to keep to diet or as near as possible the major thing is to have or continue to have low insulin and low glycemic index foods. Well now I can check myself and that's the main thing - at least I will be able to determine what is going on with this body of mine.
