[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2269808, member: 451727"] Which would be 5 a day? Nowhere near enough as far as I'm concerned, that would equate to 3 before meals, maybe one for driving and one if you feel low? EVERY person is different and manages their diabetes differently, I exercise a lot, I drive more than once a day, I test at least once a day when I am feeling low. Even on a quiet day it's a minimum of 7. I honestly do not understand why they would be restricted at all unless you were using absolutely ridiculous numbers. How can you ever justify restricting LIFE SAVING equipment simply to save money? My absolute bugbear is when other people imply you're doing it wrong because you're not like them. Some people do not drift along with stable glucose levels and it's time Drs recognised this. [/QUOTE]
