| How does your doctor fill out your prescription? Does he place 4 vials on it? If so, I would have him write it for 5 vials. There is no reason he should not do that if you need more. Explain to him what happens. And if he says you shouldn't be taking that much, then show him your BG charts and then tell him how much you take.
If he's not writing how many vials on it and it's a mail order company problem, then I'd have the doctor specify how much you need. I've NEVER gone bottle to bottle or strip to strip on any product. That's just too dangerous to do. I always have a good 1-2 months extra of all supplies in case I lose insurance or something else happens. I figure that buffer can hold me over some until I get a new job with insurance.
Good luck.
