When I do snack is when my readings go up and I pay for it but it's very difficult that there is an internal struggle especially around holidays when everyone around the family is inviting us over and trays and trays of finger food and christmas snacks come out. Last week I gave my homemade receipe for chip dip to my neighbor and I know she'll make it and I'll want to eat it. Think it's time I shoot myself a hit higher to compensate - but thankfully I have the FreeStyle LibraLink 2 and it has an alarm if my readings go above 18 or below 4

We are all different. You obviously have it worse than I do, as you are monitoring it on a daily basis - I just have a single checkup per year, and get told to keep on doing what I'm doing, cause it all looks good....
I've just found that eating what I want to eat, but just once a day, and not a silly amount, has worked out very for me
