Agreed..it is not "essential"..you will manage to survive without testing so often, but this is just the same poor patter we get from these people on a daily basis despite the opinions of those who are actually diabetic who wish to see what foods etc are actually having an impact on them and what they can do to improve the situation. I have had three doctors and a diabetes consultant all tell me that the advice you have been given (as I have heard it before) is outmoded nonsense. Testing every day (and up to 8 times a day at first) was the only way I managed to establish what was doing the damage (including particular meds I was on) and as a result of this I got in control of my levels. I was prescribed a meter and strips by my doctor because he felt it was important. I'd look for other opinions if I were you. Good luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
