| My insurance doesn't limit my strips. Before I started pumping I was getting 200/month. Then I asked my CDE for 300/month once I got my pump. I was having a lot of trouble getting my numbers straight and ended up buying some strips myself from eBay. So, this past summer I asked my CDE for a new prescription for 400/month. She wrote it, I mailed it away, I got my strips (1,200 at once, a 3 months supply). I pay $20 for the 3 months worth.
My CDE does sometimes tell me that I test too much and might want to cut back a test or two each day but lately my numbers have been so unpredictable I don't dare go more than 2 hours without testing while I'm awake.
