How many strips do you get through a month?

This thread has been really useful to me.

My decision is that I plan to test on average 3 times a day - fasting, pre and post my main meal; which ever that transpires to be on any given day. Clearly there will be times when I am routinely eating "known" food and the need to test will be less, and vice versa, but I think I'll want to commit to my fasting levels daily, as a bit of a consistent benchmark.

I have ordered my 6 months worth of strips (rounded up to 500), so beware there may be a short-term shortage out there in the marketplace! Should I get exceptionally lucky and manage to persuade my practise to prescribe strips, I'll just have some spare. Thereafter, I'm just going to have to hope the heat doesn't adversely affect them, because sure as heck it has a massively beneficial effect on me!

This post isn't meant to close down the thread to anyone else wishing to post, but just to give you guys feedback for the help you have given me.
