He says that if I want to test more often, go ahead, only the insurance won't pay for the extra strips. Well, now I know that it's his recommendation to test 3 times a day, not his office's policy. Oh well....

especially pp 8-9, 14, and 19.

SOBs. Maybe you should check directly with your insurance plan. I'm assuming (from our previous thread) that it's a UAW plan--there should be someone there who can help.
