| MDI would not have started until after home testing was available. Trying to remember the year, but it was earlier that 1985, that was the first I was shown home bg testing and MDI. I had no money and no insurance for a few years prior and so did not go to the dr at all. Seems I read in Bersteins book that he got a hold on his first tester in 74. That was before it became available to those of us that use it. When it first came out it was carefully guarded for use only at the md office.
