Well, one easier option might be to ask him to recommend an endocrinologist in the area, who'd actually know about testing properly. From your post above, I'm guessing the idea of seeing any more docs wouldn't appeal to you (not an approach I'd recommend, but if you're content ... ), but if you can get one who'll prescribe 10 strips a day (mine did) you could see him even less often (mine also will fax them in without a visit, if I need it).

I find it bizarre that he'd recommend all those other tests that you reject, and the one test (or series) that you're willing to do, he won't help with. That's really pretty friggin' weird.

Have you tried *that* argument? That here you're finally showing some interest in taking care of your health and he won't help ? Guilt: the world's equal opportunity motivator
