My health insurance company has decided that I, an insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetic, only need to test my blood sugar 5 times a day, down from the 6 they previously “allowed” Note to reader: if I only knew my blood sugar at 5 points throughout the day, I’d be dead.

@Kidfears99 There was a point in the early weeks/months of diagnosis for my son that he was having 14 injections a day. That’s just the injections… let alone the finger pricks required before, in between and after! And not accounting for a variety of monitor errors requiring MORE strips! 😵💫
@hellokitty1211 EXACTLY. At 5 strips a day, they’re essentially limiting diabetics to two meals max with no room for error.
