I went a week without testing my glucose levels. I did this because I could not afford to pay over $100 dollars for 100 test strips. I went online and via Amazon I was able to find a site that sold the test strips I needed. For the $100 dollars I would have paid Walgreen's for 100 strips. I paid that amount for 200 test strips.
It is hard to manage your glucose levels when you can't afford the essential materials you need. It is recommended you check your levels 2 to 3 times a day or as needed. The whole time I was worried of eating too much or not being active enough. It was added stress I didn't need.
I need to do more research so I can have the things I need to manage my diabetes. To look for offers and discounts. To help offset the costs of these things.
