[QUOTE="JoeCo, post: 1271548, member: 333831"] Recently diagnosed in August. Currently taking around 7-10 tests per day, although my diabetes team has suggested 3-4 is enough, and when I changed my prescription to Accu-Chek Mobile cassettes, my GP asked how long do I think they'll last, I said at my current rate 100 should last just over two weeks, and she went quiet but did it anyways. So I can see there must be some pressure within the NHS to keep strip costs down. I can definitely see myself needing some 'breaks' every now and then where I will test 4 times max, but otherwise it will be pretty consistent at 7-10. [/QUOTE]
