Blood sugar monitoring- if only done 2x day, what are the best times to test?

So confused about the gestational diabetes carb diet!! HELP PLEASE!?
This is so confusing. I need to know if this is alright. I just started my gestational diabetes low-carb diet. My three meals a day range from 30-45g of carbs while my three snacks range from 15-30g of carbs. I don’t want to keep eating just turkey sandwiches and fruits and vegetables. Would it be ok if I ate the following, as long as it is within carbohydrate guidelines?
For example ..
(3) chicken strips from Sheetz w/ nacho cheese – 26g carbs, no sugar
Grilled chicken wrap from Sheetz w/ cheddar cheese, cooked peppers & onions, bacon, & tomatoes – 31g carbs, 3g sugars
McChicken from McDonald’s w/o the bun, mayo, & lettuce (just the plain chicken patty) – 10g carbs
Can I eat this stuff (obviously not at the same meal or anything) since it’s within the carb guidelines I am supposed to follow?
Also .. some more examples .. not that I want to eat this stuff daily or anything, just using these as examples ..

Are there any Blood sugar monitoring machines WITHOUT disposable chemical strips?
The Glucose monitoring machines are cheap but the “strips” are normally prohibitively expensive. This is in fact a commercial strategy of the Medical comapanies.
Do we have any blood or “other” accurate sugar monitoring eqpt which may be a bit expensive to buy but has very minimal repeat ( for each test) expenses.
Rider : I know of cheap urine sugar monitoring but it is un scientific and horribly in accurate. pl suggest anything else ONLY.

Atkins Induction Acceptable Foods – The Good, The Bad
and the Pork Rinds… I go over the Acceptable Foods for Atkins Induction and Extended Induction phase and personal advice on how to have a successful Induction phase. Having a successful Induction phase of Atkins is so much more than just losing weight. It is about getting your eating under your control again, getting your blood glucose levels stabilized, starting to learn new healthy habits with food, and finally to experience the magic of ketosis to the person needing to lose weight. Learning new comfort foods is one of the main steps. The low carb recipe sites play a key role in achieving this goal.
