How doesn’t a doctor want a patient to test at least twice a week, if the patient is supposedly borderline diabetic? There isn’t such a thing, you either are or are not. Doctors should listen to patients, and if they want a meter, give them the prescription! Most insurances will cover the cost.

If someone claims to be type 1 diabetic, how come they say they don’t use insulin? Is there such a thing as a non-insulin dependent type 1 diabetic? Someone, please, enlighten me.

And what is the minimum times per day a type 1 diabetic patient needs to test? I don’t get Medicare standards sometimes.

Oh, the joys of working with diabetic patients. But I love my job!
