I very much agree with the idea of testing 6-10+ times a day. Really i think anyone on insulin should be testing as much as they possibly can, as an MDIer I have tested 9.3 times on average over the last 2 weeks. I use NIVIA Hand Nourishing Cream almost every night and rotate fingers every test. I just hope CGMs will become economical and accurate in the not too distant future, even 10 times a day doesn’t account for most of a 24hours day. Flying blind is just what we do.
