Yes, Jenn, definately check it out. It will save you some doc trips.
Especially if you get a lot of false alarms like I do. Then the antibiotics
are no good if you don't have an infection, and I heard that you can become
immune to the antibiotics if you use them too much. I think they are around
9 or 10 dollars for a certain amount of test strips, I can't remember how
many exactly.
Talk to you soon,
Michele
