How many strips do you use per month?

So far I have been using an average of 150/200 strips per month (some months even less).

But now with pregnancy I look at me at all hours and I think that with 200 I stay short and that I will need about 300.

It was my mother yesterday to collect the material (10 days before what I had because I only had a strips tube) and they told her that they were given, but that if I needed more than 200 a month I needed an endocrine report.

They told it in very good ways, but now they control the material a lot.On the 20th I will go to the endocrine and I hope they make the report, I suppose that 6 controls per day in a normal situation is "enough" but now to the slightest symptom I am already measuring (sometimes in excess)

How many analysis are you making a day?

According to the Spanish Diabetes Society we become too many;): Evil :: ((: Oops :: P :(: Shock: :?

I do not lower 6 a day, so it's about 180 per month ...

I of 150 not low ... And some subnorm ... They say it is too much, because I had to have a monkey to prick my finger !!!!I try to lower it but that if for the sport, that a cold, that if paranollas, that if it were ..... there is no way ...

Well, I fixed 7 a day, before and after each meal and another before going out to do sports.

Me 6 minimum, from 6 to 10 every day.Until today the head doctor makes me many strips recipes and the only problem that I had is that the laboratory did not provide them with the pharmacy, once solved, phenomenal.

Even now that I warned that they changed my glucometer on the subject of the bomb, in the pharmacy they told me that with the same recipes they would give me the new strips without lack of other recipes and my head doctor told me that as soon as I had the glucometerNew, I happened to give me the new recipes.I mean there, without problems.;)

My daughter is also 6 or 7 a day.With less, you can't live quietly.

I 6 a day, and even when I notice symptoms of hicc
Like a little and I think, it will take it already passes .. you have an hour just to eat and you are doing the test, it is a shit ... but in the account that brings me ... if I want all the wholemonth you have to administer them, they give me two boats for the month 200tars but with the claims sheet that I put to the district they give me another boat, your man has some problem and more in your state (high -risk pregnancy) they have to give you preciselyThe one you need.

Hi Tica!
At least I use 6 a day, one more about 7pm if a long time passes between the snack and dinner and another sometimes at 3 p.m.In your situation they should not put you, I think.

I from 4 to 5 boxes of strips if everything goes well.And when I am now with readjustment, that if you raise a at night, that if any hiccups there, then 5 not low.With a pregnancy and how important control is, they would not have to put any paste.

Something chungo happened to me with the strips in this month and peak that I have diagnosed ...

My endo gave me 6 daily the day I debuted.I go to the hospital pharmacy to authorize them (or something like that you have to do), and from there to the pharmacy of my neighborhood ... I buy the bowling and strips, I use everything as they told me (I measure me infasting, before and after food and dinner, some more sometimes ... come on, that of 5 should not go down in view of these tips, right?).
The days passed and they did not get to me, so as I had another glucometer (which they lent me to be tested while I was still pre-diabetic) because I pulled those strips and that gluco, but I was fly.

I told the other day to the endocrine that did not even give me the strips they gave me in the pharmacy and told me "because if you are doing as 5 or 6 analysis a day, I paid you 6 daily! I do not know how I don'tThey arrive. "At that time we did not give more importance but they gave me a box of 100 more in case and they told me that if I had any problem, they passed me and gave me another (my educator and my endo are great with these things)

I go yesterday again and I repeat the subject ... He looks at the computer, shows me his report and puts "6 strips/24 hours" ... all ok.Just in case also look at what I have scheduled in the electronic recipe and see that those of the hospital pharmacy (at their own risk!) They put 3 daily !!!!!Often we all had in the consultation, the endo, the educator ... hallucinating with which they changed the prescription of the specialist because they wanted (or for the cuts in health ??)

So now, after going to the hospital pharmacy and putting things clear, I can say yes, I am 6 daily, about 200 a month: D

I use 4 a day and I have a very short one and now that the heat of summer is starting to hit me a minimum symptom, the truth did not arrive many times a month and I have to go to the emergency room to leave me a device with stripsOf those they use hahaha

I'm trying to reduce it to 3 but I don't even get it haha

A health

In Galicia the crisis must be greater than on other sides, because they give me a box only every 25/30 days, nothing more.I perform 2 only controls, because in total there are 50 strips.I almost always stay wanting to perform more evidence but of course if I have no left for other days.

They give me 200 a month I was sent to me 6 or 7 daily if I do the 7 newspapers as I do not have the morning of the morning I usually save according to how I go to me because I have it + or - regulated. By the same way those ofketone bodies paid me 1 box every 2 months, that is 10 because the box has 10 the bad thing is that the two times it has given them to an expiration they do not look for the expiration because I have one that I gave me before a year to expire a year to expire.

I go to you today I am disgusting.My hemo from 8 has gone to 8.4.Before disgusted, because now, I with the unbeaten Levemir and with Lantus I go from Hicm to Hip and Shot PQ touches me.

I ask, did it drop you from 8.8 to 6.6 for the use of the pump?I ask it because I am with the strict controls (although before TB carried them) for later "staging".

Thanks in advance.

Helloaaaa,
I make 3-4 daily, no more.At first I did 6 but the nurse told me that as I did so many, that I was not missing, that I was going to crush my fingers.It will be thought that I punish me for pleasure, hahahaha
Tica, I imagine that in a pregnancy they should not put fighting how many controls do, we are going that the ones you need, to see what the endo tells you.
Greetingsssssss

Good Romevila and above all,
I believe that if in February 2011 I had 8.6 in November it had 8.8 (when I asked for the bomb) and they put it in March and when and I went in May almost in the end I had 6.6 and the only thing that has changed the bomb, because in November I already sent me more profiles, and I had many variations, before November from one day to another doing the same also had many variations. (Towards exercise, one day I had it with normal levels the next day having
The same went up, other times I stayed at home and didn't move and everything ok.That if when they put the bomb until I regulate it, it gave me some hiccup I had the basal too high.
According to what the material gives me, that is, the educator, people usually gain weight, because as you are better controlled, I have even lowered some kilo, having if any more that I have 4 or 5 left over.
By the way and before I was with a levemir 2 times a day (breakfast /dinner), novorapid other 2 (breakfast /dinner) and novomix (food). With which I had to eat or not wanted to want the next meal notIt arrived.
Now with the pump one day or I have not taken lunch or snack because I did not feel like it or had it a little higher, one day I have not had all the portions and another I have taken some more, the one to jump breakfast or theI have not tried the food or dinner.
That if the right, unless I have it low, do not take it and endure all night.

Thank you very much Samoeus.

Tb I have heard what to gain weight with the pump, I do not know, since theoretically gains weight if you have many hypos, that is to say that with pump or without it if you have hypos ... it is no longer exclusive to the pump, agree?
On the other hand I think that having regulated levels and eating what is necessary according to your physical constitution, age, etc., you should not fatten.
Another point to treat is that the bomb works with fast, nothing basal, I mean what we attribute to the lantus ... disappears, then where the fattening so famous we have tired of talking?

Please, bomb users, tell us something about their gain or loss of weight.

Thank you new.

Well, I did not get fat with Lantus and either with a bomb.Because the cause of gaining is not lantus or the pump, is eating more than we spend and that happens with lantus, with a pump or bomb.
The bomb facilitates weight loss because insulin regulas more strictly, more meticulous, if we go on a diet it is easier to adapt the guideline .....

Hi Romevila, I can't advise you anything because I don't have, although I already told you that I don't get fat with Lantus either, I understand the anger it gives when you expect a little better and it gets taller you spend fatal, because I don'tYou know what to do more, but I enter just to encourage you, and tell you that with the pump you will be better, if you fattening as if you lose weight, it only matters that hemoglobin is controlled and already is, and over time when you handle it well then you decideIf doing a little diet (if you get a fat that will not be your case) we have the habit of anticipating negative things and I prrima, now I am a lot better with the sugar, but I still like the head of how my hem will be for July.Inge Romevila

Can someone tell me where they make those reports in which they prescribe so many strips ???
I have a nursing report with the maximum and I only correspond to me 2 boats a month of 50 strips each and of course it does not reach me, but as when buying their price it is excessive because I have to reduce the controls to the maximum.
This month my nurse has forgotten to ask me and it's on vacation so I have 2 emergency strips to pass the weekend and what they take to arrive.
