Have been for 13 years. At my old doctors I was getting messed around with my medication. Either they were avoiding giving me test strips or just not giving me any medication at all , so I decided to swap. Been fine for the last 4 months was getting stuff every week including 1 box of strips a week ...
Now i went there to be told I'm only allowed 2 boxes of strips a month when I have badly controlled diabetes. I explained this to them and they do not seem to care I've been told i can only test 2 times a day. I usually test 7 times a day and they are telling me this is too much. I test 4 times as i take insulin 4 times a day and i keep 2-3 for hypos or if im high.
I dont know if im in the wrong with this but i seem to feel like im being attacked by any doctor i go to and im starting to get depressed with my illness again. How can i control it if i can not test ??? i went through a rough patch a few years ago where i didn't feel well at all and i tested alot.
Do any of you think i test to much ? cause i have no idea where to turn next. any advice /help on this would be appricated.
