[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 74596, member: 19121"] I had exactly that experience this week, being told by a pharmacist that I only need to test twice a week!!! My doctor wont prescribe more than 1 X 50 strip canister at one time. I was diagnosed type 2 in March this year and have been testing at least 4 X a day. I am using Metformin 4 x 500mg and Humulin S and L. As was said in a previous post how am I supposed to know how much insulin to administer if I don't know what my bg levels are? I find it hard to believe that so many differing opinions are given over testing. Hospital diabetic nurse told me test before each meal and at bedtime, pharmacist said 2 x per week! and doctor seems to thing 50 times a month is fine.
