I Have to Buy Special Machines to Monitor My Status (Prediabetes)

Most of these machines have the same value as the supplements I describe in the preceding section. (In other words, not much.) You really need only two machines to evaluate your medical status: a glucose meter and a blood pressure cuff.
If you have prediabetes, you want to occasionally check your blood glucose to make sure that it is staying below the definition of diabetes. Equally important, you should be measuring your blood pressure to make sure it is normal, especially if you take blood pressure medication.
You may have heard of the continuous glucose monitor, which you wear on your body. It checks your blood glucose every 5 minutes and alerts you if your glucose is above or below levels that you set. If you have prediabetes, it’s unlikely that you will ever go above or below those levels. You don’t need that much information.
