There are definitely conditions that warran the use of a blood glucose monitor, but if you do not have those conditions you do not need to be using one. Blood sugar spikes are part of how your body works, it's the sugar traveling through your blood to the rest of the body because you just ate some! And testing for gestational diabetes can be extremely important and no one should be telling you not to get it done, especially someone that doesn't know how insulin works. Thanks to @theplantslant for telling me about this and @dr_idz for also covering it. #diet #fatloss #nutrition #whattoeat #weightloss #donteatthis #donteatthat #eatthisnotthat #weightlosstips
