Nice Planet- I’ll Take It asked:


You can buy the meters all day long, But I was told I need a prescription for the strips and lancettes, Is this right? That just seems stupid. If I want to test my self, I should be able to do it.
Sorry, I dont have a job anymore, let alone insurance. I really am not a fan of Doctors either. I am self treating myself, so I dont go into debt by seeing someone. I read everything i can find about diabetes, and Probably know as much or more already than a doctor would tell me anyway. I’m just not going to start seeing any doctors. I am doing really well, by just eating well and excersizing. I Just want to buy some strips for my meter, so I can keep better track, I have been using a freinds meter, But I dont want to use up all of Her strips.
This sounds like a Doctor/ Meter manufacturer scam to me. I live in Nevada, Where do you people live who can get them without prescriptions?
