You can order Free Style Libre (online), starter package for $200 or so (check their website). They probably don't ship to the US, as they're not approved there, so you'd have to use some mail forwarder.

Thank you! That might work for me - I could get it shipped to Japan or the UK.

Speaking as a T1D for nearly 10 years, instead of getting a glucometer, go to a lab and check your Hba1c levels.

The test is really cheap and is an indication of your glucose levels in the last 3 months. If that is over 7 mg/dl you're diabetic.

I sincerely hope you don't have T1D. Good luck.

Thank you for the recommendation about Hba1c and also the "Good luck".

kind of relates to what you write: Hab1c is a more accurate indicator of diabetes than fasting glucose for someone on any form of carbohydrate restriction, which is me.
