I get lazy and will test fasting only for a while. Testing strips "pile" up so then I test 6 times a day, or maybe 3, for a while until I start getting lazy again.
My desire is to test 6 times a day, but my physician will only give me an Rx for 3 times a day. If I want to consistently test more often, then I will have to get a meter that has really inexpensive strips. Walmart is supposed to have a Relion one that has really inexpensive strips.
