You are being fed the same bullshit
They do not tell you that Test Strips are under part "B", not part "D"
and your drug store is not a Part B supplier, they use a third party.

You have two choices.
1) Go to a Part "B" supplier, problem is, most of them want more 
business than just strips.
2) Find a drug store which won't give you problems.  Of all people, Rite 
Aid ??  They will look at the PRESCRIPTION, and that is what they will 
give you.  No nonsense about only 2 strips a day, or some type of magic 
proof.

Stay away from Walgreens, FAR away, and most other drug stores.  My 
regular store is Kmart, and the pharmacist there warns me NOT to get 
entangled with their third party supplier
