[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1410487, member: 94045"] What diabetes meds are you on? When we are first learning about food, portion sizes, post meal rises etc., 100 strips a month in my opinion is inadequate. Better than nothing, but not enough. I'd be interested to know what you have learnt from your personal testing regime? Certainly initially, regular and organised testing is essential to gain control, before and 2 hours after a meal, and then sometimes it is wise to also test at an hour to 90 minutes after in addition to the 2 hour mark, and then sometimes after 2 hours if levels haven't come down by then. Bedtime is also a very useful test. [/QUOTE]
