I am resolved to get a better handle on my bg control this year. Last year my testing was somewhat random so I learned some of the things that spiked my bg, but I still don't feel confident that I know my body well enough🙄 As I have to pay for my testing strips, haphazard testing seems a bit fruitless. I have read the recommended links regarding testing, but these are written by people who don't take into account the fact that some have to pay for their strips. I have managed to find (via Amazon) competitively priced strips for my Accu Check Aviva Nano (?20 for 50 inc P & P), but if I only test 3 times a day, these will only last me just over 2 weeks😱 I am prepared to invest in my long term health and wellbeing, but wondered when others who pay for their strips test or those who don't think the best way to approach this is? My bg is currently 6 plus on waking (I got this down under 6 mostly before Christmas). Is your waking bg a good yardstick of control? Any ideas anyone as I really want to make a good go of this! Thanks for your support. Katiexx
