fight for it girl..........my doc only wanted me to test twice a day, it took me 3 trips to the doc's office to get 200 a month.... i finally told her listen its my health, not only am i testing before and after meals, now im starting a vigorous excercise program here at home on my treadmil, i need more than just 2 times a day..... so she wrote a script for 6 x per day plus more if needed that way i would get a hole months supply

and i get mine 90 days worth


you and your husband both need to DEMAND to get a high script for strips, or tell your doc you will find another doc that cares about you

so many people have went through this, including me, so your not alone, keep pushing the docs until they cave or find a new one lol




doctors make me so mad, it doesnt affect them one way or the other how many times you test, it doesnt cost them money, but they claim they get nasty letters from insurance companies.... but the thing is

they doctor is working for you, if you dont like there service's then you need to fire them and find a new one that will listen to you and your concerns
