It's been quite some time since I found it necessary to check after every
meal. I can tell when my BG is high (I have an area on the heel of my
left foot that does not fail). That breakfast does not spike me much -
I'm quite confident it keeps me below 100. BTW - I've got a couple of
interesting variants for eggs - one is scrambled - with cottage cheese
and a dash or two of tobasco.
