Rob43,

Testing everyday from my perspective is a must. I'm on 4mg of Amaryl daily. That plus diet and exercize have taken my A1C from 14.2 to 5.4 in just over three months.

I'm the one in charge of keeping this desease under control as best I can. Testing let's me know how I'm doing. Not knowing how long my pancreas will keep producing extra insulin in response to my medication is something I want to be aware of.

So my motivation to keep up my testing regimen is my desire to keep on top of this desease.

What works for me may not work for you. You need to come up with your own motivation.

Lot's of luck in controlling your diabetes.
