Insurance Woes
My insurance company will only allow me 2400 test strips per year.Today when I called up to order some, the pharmacy called back and told me that I wouldn't be allowed any strips til January 27 2013.So I called my insurance company and they said I used my quota.I figured it out that 365 days in a year divided by 2400 means I can only test 6x a day!That is crazy.What do I do before bed and my basal tests?I see my doctor in November so I will get him to increase that amount.I test at least 7x a day,more if I have eaten differently and when I exercise.Thanks for letting me vent.

Congrats I hope they are generous with you. Since I wrote my post I have gotten a Dexcom CGM system and find now I have cut way back on my testing in fact today I completely forgot to bring my glucometer to work with me. And I didn't miss it at all.
