At about US$0.50 per strip, that makes

justify that expense?

Hi , I understand your point. I have a good insurance program, and I

get 800 test strips for 15 dollars. These last me a long time, even at the rate

I test. I am one of those people if I let it slide, I would wind up trying

to dig myself out from under high numbers. I know my weaknesses ;-) I have to

make myself stay within the levels we have talked about at LENGTH! LOL It is

kind of like collecting things. I would be collecting BG's ;-) I watch the

numbers closely, this is why I do it. I can also tell if stress is building

by looking at my levels. When mom had a stroke, I shot up over 100 extra

beyond my normal points. So I know it sure shows me if I get into micshief or

not!
