Tried THREE chemists in 1 town and none sold meters, all asked why i wanted one......
told me to see my GP. ive had one since 1998, i get the strips on prescription, only changing cos the cats have taken my finger pricker for a walk somewhere
Which town? I live in a very small town (village really) on the outskirts of High Wycombe and both of our pharmacies have a selection of BG meters. One is a Boots and the other is Rowlands (500 locations nationwide).
Why do you want one? To measure your BG maybe? Sorry, are these people that uneducated? Good luck on your search although if you did see a GP, they'd probably have one to give you and there's loads online anyway.
Strange pharmacies round your way.
If it's a Accu-chek or Abbott meter, just call the freephone customer service number, explain that you have a prescription for the test strips and they will send you a new meter/lancing device. This will probably apply to the other principal manufacturers also.
