Remembering to Test your Blood Sugar

Received my Free OneTouch UltraMini Meter last week, making my grand total of meters at four, and I still forget to test my blood sugar (for Diabetes Type 2) a few mornings a week.

My problem is, i’m not fully awake before my coffee (YAH Folgers Black Silk Coffee!). By then, it’s too late for the morning fasting blood sugar test. Normally, I put a meter on top of either the coffee maker or the coffee can, but forgot.

Lately, my blood sugar has been in the 110’s, down from the 120’s a few weeks ago. This has been since I’ve started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and Cinnamon tablets. It’s so gratifying to see something working on lowering that blood sugar. Still watching the sugar, fat, sodium, starchs & carbs.

This new meter, the ultramini, has different colors for you to order. The one I ordered was the green, but they have others, as in the one above. Some info from the site?
