Good day gents. I have been experiencing a crash after my workouts of late. Tried different times of day and all about the same. Thought I would check my blood sugar after workouts. Does anybody recommend any particular device?

I recommend the Freestyle Freedom Lite meter and Freestyle Lite meter (slightly smaller), both from Abbott Laboratories. They are highly accurate and recommended by noted diabetologist Dr. Richard Bernstein (they're the only ones he's found to be tolerably accurate at near-normal blood sugar levels). You will need to buy the test strips made for your meter. The strips are wickedly pricey at drug stores, much less on eBay (but make sure they're fresh and from someone who sells lots of them).
