GD mother, i have question on the GD diet...

1. How often do u all do 7 pricks a day? Understand that the requirement is 2x a week, but is 2x a week result sufficient to access how good or bad your GD is? 2. To achieve a so called " ideal" result for Gynae and dietician to see, do you all actually do any trial and error for the outside food and actually record it down if the reading is real bad? Some background: I don't cook at home, my lunch and weekend food are outside food. Only weekday dinner my mum cooks for me, hence reading is better than other meals since its homecook. But, whenever I eat outside my reading fluctuates, I recorded those bad reading down and feel so demoralised. Honestly, sometimes it's so hard to know which outside food is OK and what is not OK, but I did a trial and error but whenever reading is bad , I recorded it down and feel unmotivated. Can't actually have the ideal result for Gynae to check. 3. On those day that you are not testing, do you have cheat meals?
