I'm going to admit that I have the same problem remembering to use my meter. But my problem was something completely different.

I was having problems getting the blood out of my finger. So i was having
to stick my self 3 or 4 times most of the time. So I got to the point that
I would just say what is the point its not going to matter. I'm just
going to get stressed.


But I finally figured out how to get it down to were I didn't have to do
the more than one stick. And then I lost the box of strips I bought. And
didn't have the money to buy a new box. So I used that as a excuse
for two weeks. But I got a new box and started again.

So now well I lost my meter, so I had to go out and buy a new one.
So then my strips disappeared again. So I had to wait again. But then
I said, I'm just losing things. So I did not buy them. So now I have
everything, but I don't like to take it because I hate the sight of blood.

So what I have done is stopped again. But I started again, when a nurse
from the agency that calls about my asthma found out I stopped.

So then I started again. So I am taking it part of the time, because I lost
it again. But I found it again, so I started again. And I have put it up and
will keep taking it.

But my AC1 is taken every 3 months.
