[QUOTE="James_Donnelly, post: 1902240, member: 214632"] I used to barely test to be honest. It was bad of me but I wasn't off the rails or whatever, just used to sit around 7-9 all day every day so just stopped checking it as I could always feel when I hypo'ed anyway. Now, I test frequently 6 times a day roughly. . Had a little scare I guess a few days ago where I was in the 2s on consecutive days and didn't even feel it both times though and that accompanied by the fact I have about 5 or 6 hypo's a week these days has made me test even more the last couple days. I tested 15 times yesterday for god sake out of worry that I'm going to hypo and not feel it. Could worry that the doctors will moan at me for the rate I'm going through these testing strips but screw it, It's my health, and I don't care if I'm costing them a little bit of money going through a box of 50 a week, I saved them money when I used to only go through a box a month when I wasn't testing very frequently.
