Being a patient in the VA (DAV) system with diabetes, the VA has reduced our strips to, two a week. And yet they tell me to monitor my glucose every day or two times’ per day.
This is part of the HOPE & CHANGE the younger generation has voted for.
I no longer ask God to bless America, I now use, “God Have Mercy On America” !!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you buy these on your own? If so then do you know what they cost?
I'm asking because I believe some open competition would probably drive down the price.
The test strips are an OTC item. It looks like Moe is attempting to shift costs.
Thank you for your service. Hubby is also disabled veteran with diabetes and goes to an Army hospital for care. They have not (yet) limited his strips but the kind he uses are dated and if out of date by even one day will not give a reading. Instead of limiting his strips they give him a lot more than he needs and when they expire they have to be thrown away~ very wasteful. No logic is used with this sort of thing.
