    @timetoloseweightnow....that has to be horribly frustrating. My strips are paid for in full so I am very thankful...I just got a new metre for free as well from my health nurse...it's pretty crappy...I really miss my old one. I wish I lived closer to some of you guys I could "bootleg some testing strips lol"

    BarneyRubbleMD, thanks, I hadn't looked at it that way, but that makes me feel better. I only get one test strip a day, so I had been trying to use it for FBG....with testing after eating sometimes.( which makes me run out early on in the month).....but as you say that probably matters most for me to find my highest spike. The meds are working ,so it's time for me to do my part now.

    I had run into the same thing with running out of test strips and they can be expensive without insurance (my Freedom Lite test strips, without insurance, would be about $300/month). However, I got a new meter (CVS Advanced) for about $18 and 100 test strips for about $22 (and the last time I ordered them from CVS online store, they were on sale for $18 for 100 test strips). I've switched over to this meter now because of the features it has (pre and post meal "tagging" & averaging which helps me keep track of my pre and post meal blood sugar #'s) and because of the cheaper test strips. And, surprisingly, I didn't need a prescription to get those test strips (but did have to pay for them--used my HSA card).

    I use Walmart's test strips $9 for 50 strips.
    It's cheaper than my insurance co-pay.

    96 today--it's really curious, this is after carb loading with pasta and ice cream last night! Go figure.
    Everybody is doing real well in the last few days. Good job. @mrron2u you're getting it done :)

    Thanks! And maybe your body is getting more efficient at handling the occasional carb load. I was at 83 today.
