[QUOTE="cdpm, post: 1664311, member: 208503"] when i was first diagnosed i was told 3x a week (insurance covered that many) and when i couldn't afford any at $1 a strip -- knowing i would need to test more-- i asked at a clinic and they told me that they would give me a free sample of 10 strips then were going to "wean" me back to 3x a week but now with insulin i get alot more covered but that says that without insulin they think people barely need to test but i got hypos on a med that is said not to cause hypos (metformin) and another med they told me wouldnt cause hypos-- gliclazide ( i cant remember how its spelled) and during this i still wasnt told to test or any info. on how to or when i had to learn for myself [/QUOTE]
