Blood Sugar Test Strips at VA
For many years I was prescribed 50 strips every 3 months. Last year I received a new monitor & was told I could only get 50 strips every 6 months unless I was on Insulin. What is the VA experience with other forum members?

Not testing daily?



BIDEN SUCKS.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Wow. I'm supposed to test 6 times daily, but the insurance company provides strips. Every other day seems like very little.

Nope. Dr. told me to check every 3 days. I don't take pills anymore. I control mine through diet and exercise. Lost around 45 lbs. after my wife died 7 yrs. ago.
