Went for my 6th month check up and was told they had now cut my test strips so that I can only test twice a week. That really is nonsense. BG readings vary all the time and twice a week will tell you nothing.It is not my surgery the nurse explained it was orders from on high. I test before I go to sleep as I have had hypos in the past.This means I will have to eat more at my evening meal to avoid a hypo, consequently my HBA1C will rise. This, in turn could mean in the long run I will need more medical attention.
