[QUOTE="fluff4brains, post: 719285, member: 145746"] I've been told I don't "need" to test 7 times a day, just keep an eye out for odd things. I think GP was being cautious that I don't get too obsessive, or disheartened by the occasional bad set of readings. Well, that's very thoughtful of him, and he is supplying enough strips for a modest testing regime, but I have a more complex situation and have noticed patterns that won't appear with one or two tests a day. So, whilst I can afford it, I will splash out on a private pot of strips for my own edification. He'll supply enough for 2-3 a day - good on him, but I will supply the rest until we know what's going on. My body, my data, my prognosis. [/QUOTE]
