Also, when I'm at the drive-thru window asking the person who actually poured my drink if it is actually diet, I expect that person to know. I have tried the test strip trick before, but my meter gave an error message, not HI/LO.

That is a very important distinction for them. Secondly, they have more customers than just you, and mistakes get made, not that they are unaware or careless. However, you do possess a tool to guarantee that you won't drink a sugared drink. If you use your meter to test a sample of the drink, LO means that you have a diet drink and HIGH means there is sugar in it. Since most strips cost somewhere around $1 a strip, I would suggest getting the Relion Prime meter from Walmart to test drinks. Strips are $9 for 50 making them very affordable for this purpose.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.com
