Stripping ping.
Well, these are certainly not needed for a significant number of type 2s; however, there are some that would benefit. The decision should be left to doc and patient.
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” !!!!!!!!!!!!

Blood glucose test strips: options to reduce usage
Here's the conclusion of the second abstract:
Interpretation: Many people who self-monitor their blood glucose are at relatively low risk for drug-induced hypoglycemia. The economic benefits associated with more selective testing could be redirected to more effective interventions for patients with diabetes.
IMHO, it's probably a reasonable conclusion, but in this atmosphere poisoned by rat duplicity, you can't have a rational discussion.
FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.
Proves these communists know nothing about free enterprise. When less people buy the strips the price will go up. DUMMIES!
