Depends on their reason and their knowledge/ability to monitor changes in their condition. If they are going to test 3 times a day and then download the results during their next office visit and leave the data up to their doctor then no, testing that much isn't necessary.

Heck, I'd support required classes that must be taken with doctors on proper training of what BG values mean and stuff like that before one could get more strips.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
