Whilst attending my GP surgery last week it flashed-up on his computer that I was requesting far to many test strips, he asked how often I tested and I told him it was 7-8 times a day and he said that this was far to many and 4 times would be sufficient. I explained to him my reasons for testing so often such as before meals, upon waking, before and during driving/exercise and last thing at night, but he insisted that most of his type 1 patients normally test only 4 times a day. This is the first time that test strips have been a issue with my practice, and unsure why this has came to light now.
So for type 1's only, how many times do you test your bg on average?
Many thanks
