Test Strip Post code Lottery

Great news Dave about the prescription of strips!

Quite soon you will become very aware of exactly what foods affect your levels and testing becomes much less necessary. I'm over testing at present and very rarely ever get a surprise reading.

That's the plan, John. To be honest, when I was supposed to be checking my BG once a week, I told myself I would do it every Monday morning but more often than not, I would forget and sometimes go weeks without checking it. At least this checking my BG 4 - 6 times a day is keeping me on the ball and I'm hardly likely to forget.

Like I say, once I've got this diabetes completely under my control and I can pretty much predict what my BG results will be, then I can dispense with having to check it after every meal. Then maybe I can pick a random day of the week to monitor my BG.
