Check out your local health department to see where you can go. Check your local pharmacys to see what the lowest price of test strips are and switch to them. Goodluck.
There are all kinds of programs for you if you can not afford to buy food. I find that there are soup kitchens that give out great food for a very low price.

You said you have a hard time deciding which breads and pastas to avoid. Well, if you can't figure it out stop all of them.

It might take a week or two to get used to it, but you will and then your BS will stay in the normal range much more easily. I have a 15 carb per meal limit and it isn't REALLY that difficult to accomplish. Just do it, your life depends on it! Remember, at this stage YOU ARE IN CONTROL of your health..... its up to you.
