Well, in my opinion it is not so.I think it is another consequence of health cuts, which seems to be noticeable in Catalonia in which other parts of the country.With oral medication the risk of declines practically does not exist, but with the insulint even the basal, it can occur.And for an insulin -dependent person at least two daily controls would be recommended, provided there are no symptoms of hypoglycemia, in which case more controls would be needed.
If you can afford it, buy some reactive strips to your coast, at least until you see how it evolves with insulin.
