I use a glucometer, I have been taking diabetic meds for awhile....less than a year, but long enough. When I diet for long periods, I do crash eventually. I had already cut back the meds, the only option now is to quit them all together.
not to be a zealot, but losing carbs will cure type two diabetes ; ) I can send you guys the video that explains how you can switch your body from burning carbs to burning fat, while keeping your protein level high so that you don’t lose muscle.
