[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 98119, member: 19371"] I test several times a day (between 6-8) and supplement the 50 a month I get from the NHS by buying additional strips on eBay. I don't see how you can hope to bring your blood sugar under control without doing this. I have also seen posts where people are scaring themselves witless because they don't know what to do with the results or how to bring the readings down. That is not good. I stopped testing for 5 days a couple of weeks ago, in the 5 days between my HbA1c and starting metformin :shock: I felt really out of control, even tho what I'd been eating had not changed. I don't plan to test up to 8 times a day for the rest of my life, but once I am where I want to be I will reduce the frequency of the tests because it is bloody expensive. However, I do beleive it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
