BG testing I have seen people say on here to test test test so that you know what foods make your sugar go and down, however after talking to my dietition this week (First time since dx'd almost two weeks ago) she said thats ridiculous to do that and its a waste of strips. Well I can see the point in that, I am allowed 100 strips a month and if I test 3, 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes more depending on what im testing, then i will run out of strips before the next month comes along so this makes sense to me to test to test foods out but on the other hand seems crazy to use so many strips. does this make sense?
