I test a lot less than I used to. I mostly know which foods and how much works for me. Mostly it’s now just the odd day to make sure I’m on track and around new foods I am uncertain of. But I will continue, at least sometimes, for the rest of my life. Remission for many of us us is more than a single test. It’s about maintaining it too.I agree 100%. However, having had no income or benefits for 14 months, money is very tight, so if I can effect positive change and get into remission without spending any 'unnecessary' money, I'll do that for now.
I'm getting the feeling from most people here that even if I find out that I've successfully got into remission next week, I'm being reckless in not planning to monitor my BG before and after meals for... I guess the rest of my life?!
