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.
