I want to tread lightly here because I know a lot of people really struggle with getting enough test strips… but at the same time you should realize that testing 15 times a day early in the honeymoon period is way too much if you’re not having lows and unmanageable unpredictable run-away blood sugars… I’ve myself struggled with tendency toward obsessive compulsive testing… it can easily become out of balance…
I read somewhere (don’t remember where) that if you’re spending more than an hour a day treating, thinking about, managing etc diabetes then it’s out of balance---- the more I’ve become involved in the doc the more I’ve realized that this balance is just as important-- and sometimes even more difficult-- to maintain as the balance of our blood sugar levels themselves… and it’s certainly something I’ve struggled a lot with myself!
