They should give you the strips you need ... and 6 a day for a type 1, if you are like me, it does not even get to the snack.For many years I have assigned 10 daily, that if you do not ever withdraw them, nothing happens, but leave them assigned so as not to have to discuss when I need them (and if I leave the meter continuous, right now they would not even get to reachthe food).
Don't you spend them?Well, you keep them, you will need them ... Sometimes there are moments that you need more, whether by travel (especially abroad ... I remember once I went 15 days to England and they had to "lend" those of thePharmacy of the people several boxes of strips, because the SS said no), because some measurements repeat them because it does not match what you feel (and usually succeed) or simply by defective measurements (errors, little blood, etc).
That "you have to get maximum 6 controls per day" sounds very good in controlled laboratory conditions.I remember my bad years (without continuous measurement) the burden of strips
So for a type 1 diabetic, glucose strips should never suppose a problem or restriction.And if they do it because they cost them money, that they put a continuous measurement that in the end will get cheaper.And maybe it's how we have to press ... taking many strips, which we really need.
But it is my personal opinion, of course.
