Now they say test your sugar once a day. Were not paying for that extra strip. Your only a type 2 so once a day is enough. But sugar rises during the day you can play a guessing game at nite. If you get a cold or sick you can guess even more. So keep a eye on grandma & grandpa if they have type 2 diabetise and are on S.S god knows they're going to need it. By the way those strips only will cost about a dollar a day if they can afford them. Merry Xmas
