[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1903262, member: 401801"] I spent 1000 euro's on test strips my first year. (I have four Bayer Contour TS's. With a bunch of purses i don't want to be caught out without one. But they go with expensive strips, alas). But really, once you know which foods are okay, it's just convenient to have in restaurants or when you're ill, to keep an eye on things. For me, a lot of changes went on that year with other issues that indirectly impacted my bloodsugars, so it doesn't have to get that out of hand for you...! It is a bit of an investment at first, but after a while usage tapers off as you get better in guesstimating carbs. ;) [/QUOTE]
