Totally! Well, insulin is potentially dangerous- anyone whose had a low episode knows that. So that might be why it's a controlled substance? Even so, it's not like low episodes are especially fun or desired. I can't imagine why a diabetic would induce that state on purpose.
I use pens. I actually have a really nice stockpile of insulin right now because I had good insurance over the summer, so I should be okay. But my test strip supply is more limited.

& that's more infuriating, in a way. Because while insulin *could potentially* be harmful, you're not going to hurt yourself by monitoring your blood too carefully. I mean, seriously??
They currently provide me with enough test strips to test 4 times/day, when I generally prefer to test 6-7 times.
At some point I want to get a continuous blood glucose monitor, though.
Do you use pens or a pump yourself?
