[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 174082, member: 12578"] Basic minimum on a day when I do no exercise, have no hypos, no unsual meals etc is 4. (fasting, pre lunch and dinner and bed) Some days I use double or more: the other night it took me over an hour and 4 strips to get out of a hypo. I'm prescribed 6 a day here ... and get the impression that is a 'normal' amount but because they come in 100s the pharmacist gives me 200 a month, which normally works out fine.. So far no-one in the French Authorities has seemed to do the arithmetic! (having said that I've had to buy them UK more than once when I run out on an unexpected visit so they probably owe me) Just a little word of warning though, all health authorities are looking to save money on strips.A few months ago the French authorities decreed that they would only pay for one strip per day. it took typical French demonstrations, petitions , media coverage etc to make them change their minds... and only for T1, they are reviewing what to give in the case of T2.
