[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 44917, member: 11875"] Never met an accountant have you? <G> The strips are a cost TODAY. Complications are a cost some time in the future (if you haven't died in the meantime) and are therefore someone else's problem. Initially I tested a lot, now my variation is much less so my current protocol is to avoid the fasting tests (I'm usually within range) and concentrate on the 1 hour postprandials and also tests around extra exertion and illness, not to mention eating foods of unknown provenance, which are times I'm less confident about being predictable. Then every few weeks I will run a whole day, fasting, postprandials and premeals, to see if there have been any long term changes. For my specific version of this disease that gives me maximal information at minimal cost. But I wouldn't be able to get away with this now if it hadn't been for the "obsessive" inital testing.
