[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 1899864, member: 487111"] Now we do, thanks to you! :D 6.4 Monday morning. I didn't test over the weekend because I'm down to 7 strips to last 'til my A1C a week from this coming Wednesday. I asked for 100 strips instead of my usual 50-a-month back in August, when my A1C was scheduled for September. Then I learned that my doctor would be away until mid-October but I forgot to request more strips to last me the extra month. Medicare gave me enough to test only twice a day despite my request for enough strips to test both before and after meals. Guess Medicare doesn't believe in preventive health. The pharmacist said testing before and after is only for people on insulin. Funny, that's not what I've learned from other people who actually have diabetes, whether they take insulin or not. Oh, well, I tried to lay off the carbs this weekend although I wanted to test after the Atkins chili and low-carb protein bars. [/QUOTE]
