[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 174158, member: 6681"] Hi Nigel, I test any where between 6 and 20 times on a normal day...average about 10. I had the "youu test rather a lot" chat with the Dr about 6 months ago too...he refused to sign my prescription until I spoke to him...he was fine once I explained though ( I work, and drive and from work...2 strips...I eat 3 time a day 3 strips I have 2 young children, who think I am a taxi..at least 2 strips for driving, i test before I go to bed..1 strip .As I am now on a pump, and have to test vefore I eat..even if it just a piece of fruit...another 2 strips...might do some exercise occasionally...another strip. I think he signed the prescription jst to shut me up to be honest! I am sure that your Dr would agree, that you strip requirements, although not "average" do result in a HbA1c that is far better than average as well! [/QUOTE]
