| Doctors have a business just like anybody else. The oil change places say you got to change your oil every 3000 mile. You owner manual says usually 5000 to 10000 miles. Doesn't mean it won't be a good idea to do it at 3000 miles if you want your machine to last a long time.
The doc sounds like you have not been seeing them often. They want to monitor you and get their money. If you go elsewhere, you'll probably run into the same thing.
Paying the copay is less than buying the strips out of pocket so you are on the better end of the deal. I say stick it out for a few visits and if you have it under control, demand a lot of strips or say you will move on.
