Well I got the standard reply. Type 2's don't need to test, blah, blah. When I said that my knowing what foods spike me has helped me to bring my HbA1C down 40 points in 7 weeks, he said, "then you already know." What the hell. He said that if needed, he could put me on additional meds in future if my diet didn't continue to give me good results. So additional meds is more cost-effective than strips? He was adamant that the strips are very costly. I think he was just annoyed I refuse to take the statins (even though I also reduced my cholesterol from 5.8 to 4.1 in 7 weeks just on diet). He said, "I'll have to record that you've refused statins." So record it; what do I care?
