It nerver hurt to get a monitor. Personally, I think everybody who is IR or prediabetic should have one and learn to eat like a diabetic to prevent them from ever becoming one, if possible. I think doctors tell people not to worry, they don't need to obsess about this, they aren't diabetic.....and ten years later when they are? Well, it was bound to happen anyway, the docs said.....but with the right lifestyle it could happen at 60 instead of at 40.

If your doc will prescribe one and strips then your insurance company may cover it and it's MUCH cheaper that way.
If you can't get it covered I suggest the WalMart brand meter as it's a good style of meter and the strips are only $30 for 50 strips, which is as cheap as you'll ever find them, even on ebay.
