| Some doctors are very stingy with the Rx for strips. I don't know why they wouldn't want a patient to check more rather than less. I find it ridiculous that this doctor would want you to come back for strips, but it could be his way of making sure you come back altogether. Once a day is not enough is my opinion. Bare minimum, you should test once in the morning, once before lunch, once before dinner and at bedtime. Two hours after a meal could be helpful information for your doctor as well.
