Gloria. I am insulin resistant and thus classified as Type 2 Diabetic, it is genetic (Mothers side, mtDNA inherited)
I have a BGC. and been monitoring my BG since 2006, Medicare paid for it and pays for the strips. I watch my diet, eat twice a day, don't prick the finger and test until at least 10:00 a.m.

my BG ranges from 95 to 106, ocassionally as high as 110 mm/dl.
Iwould be delighted if my blood glucose went down to 54 mm/dl below 99 is normal, 100 -125 is rediabetic
I get my A1C tested every three months (lately) and it has been 6.0 mmol/l
Since my local pharmacy doesn't have a contract with Free Style, which was the GCM I was using, and I exhausted my store of strips. I got a scrip from my PCP for Glucose Strips, but the only monitor they carry is Metric, so now I am using a new monitor. The strips would cost ,me $12 if I paid for them, Freestyle Strips are $35 through Amazon. I use both now and record readings daily on a spreadsheet.
Medicare considers Glucose monitors and strips as Medical Equipment and covered by part B.
I do not understand why you have a problem if your BG ever wemt below 54 mm/dl.
I "pray" for such a reading, nothing I can do, not even 24 hr fasting will deliver a reading below 85 mm/dl.
Not only that there is a relationship between insulin resistance and weight. I went on a two meal a day low carb diet and lost 43 lbs, down to 177. plateaued and though I have stayed on my diet and regimen, I am gaining weight again now 190, and frustrated, The solution is seems is to stop eating period.
