Most pharmacies have their own inexpensive meter (usually a Prestige Smart System) with the strips as well. If your DH is the sort for whom Real Soon Now means Probably Next Year then you know where to look. <G> Take care, Carmen > > > Do you check your blood sugar? > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > strips as well. If your DH is the sort for whom Real Soon Now means > Probably Next Year then you know where to look. <G> Even cheaper is to get one on ebay. To tell you *how* cheap, when my sister's bad dog ate the lancet device that came with my original meter (and how I wished there'd been a lancet still in there!), the cheapest way to replace it was to buy a complete new system. So, now I have a meter at home and one at work. The strips are the expensive thing, but, again, the prestige ones can be found pretty inexpensively on ebay. Not a stockholer, I just like ebay.

Quite true...but I'm sure JC Der Koenig can come up with something harsh given a moment. My sister got the 8gram ranch chicken bacon thing. I hope its legit. the service was generous and it was quite delicious !!

The wife and tried them them and not that inpressed. The toppings were less than what you would expect and the wrap got quite soggy before we finished. We would much rather have the "any sub as a salad" deal next time. That having been said, I think we are in the minority on this. Most others that have tried them have enjoyed them, or at least said that they have. Maybe I was just expecting too much. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- :: started seeing the ads yesterday (Toronto area)...anybody tried them :: yet? I just had one....it was tasty, but far too much wrap and too little filling inside for me. I need at least two of them to be happy. I'll probably try another location of subway before deciding if I'll bother to go there again (haven't been in a subway for over two years). Had one in Toronto....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too little filling. Other than that, it tasted pretty not bad. > :: started seeing the ads yesterday (Toronto area)...anybody tried them > :: yet?

I keep seeing that. My Subway prepared it with the basic ingredients, then asked me what veggies I wanted. I wanted just about everything except the jalepe?os. The thing barely touched edges and she finally gave up and "wrapped" it with the paper. Very satisfying, but messy. <g> Signaturerevek You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage. {Witches Abroad, 1991} Oh well, that (too little filling) seems to be the case with their "regular" subs as well, so it's not like they are singling the low carbers out. I suspect it's so they can give one the "opportunity" to upgrade with the double meat option <g>. Lee > I just had one....it was tasty, but far too much wrap and too little filling > inside for me. I need at least two of them to be happy. The ad that I saw last night said it had 7 grams of carbs. That seems like a lot to me. I think I'd rather see it wrapped in lettuce. Judy http://www.jlwooddesign.com > The ad that I saw last night said it had 7 grams of carbs. That seems > like a lot to me. I think I'd rather see it wrapped in lettuce. A lot if you're trying to keep to 20g, but not a lot for many people in OWL or for people on maintenance. We tried them today, and found them quite acceptable, though somewhat skimpy on fillings. The wrap was a very thin whole wheat tortilla, much thinner than most tortillas. Imagine a whole wheat Mu Shu pancake. A few more grams carb than a LaTortillaFactory LC tortilla has, but IMO a lot more appetizing. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." > > The ad that I saw last night said it had 7 grams of carbs. That seems > > like a lot to me. I think I'd rather see it wrapped in lettuce. And you know it's more than 7. Just like their 7 grams of fat. Maybe that freeze dried example in the commercial has 7. Signature____________________ Remove "X" from email address to reply. Also thought it was very tasty. I used to be a Subway "veteran" (it was one of two food choices within easy distance for lunch) and learned a secret back then, that I applied to my meal on Monday: double meat. I had the lo carb wrap BMT double meat with lettuce, tomato (maintenance), pickle, mustard, oil and vinegar. It was a very satisfying meal. Much better IMHO than the salads. I know this next idea is not low carb, but . . . They advertise that you can convert "any" sub into a wrap for just 50 cents more (in the US). I would *love* to see them try to make a meatball sub into a wrap. I may just order one to see the look on their faces.

Hmm....okay...I'll work with this idea...if I could get some more veggies inside the wrap, I could be happy, maybe :) :: Rob :: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] ::: I'll bother ::: to go there again (haven't been in a subway for over two years).

When the wrap was ordered the sandwich maker cautioned that that the steak came with a sauce that could increase the carb count. I'm in Maintenance so it's no big deal, but it was appreciated. :-) Take care, Carmen It might be worth it to see the look on their faces, but bear in mind most commerical meatballs are loaded with bread crumbs! :-) Debbie >I would *love* to see them try to make a meatball sub into a > wrap.

I've tried them, and liked them. Will do in a pinch, but I can make them cheaper than what I was charged. In fact, made one last night and it tasted the same for about a fourth of the cost. In response to Vickie's post: > I've tried them, and liked them. Will do in a pinch, but I can make > them cheaper than what I was charged. In fact, made one last night > and it tasted the same for about a fourth of the cost. I've made wraps with LC tortillas, lunch meat, cheese, and chopped veggies I got at the grocery store. Enough fixings for 8 good sized wraps cost me around $12. That's $1.50 each. The question is: How much is the convenience of eating LC out and about worth to you? I prefer burgers when I'm out. I can always get a low cost burger or two. But I might change if I can get a decent job soon. It sucks being broke.
