Hi all,
Yesterday I received a letter from my surgery telling me that they will now only prescribe strips for the GlucoRx. Rx mini or Wavesense Jazz. I understand the reasoning and don't have too much of a quibble over this, so, am not trying to start another thread along the 'how dare they' lines.
I've been very happy with my Aviva expert since diagnosis. I also use the Freestyle libre which has reduced blood testing to rapid changes or testing for driving. However, as the Libre is self funded, I have to take into account that I may have to stop using it in the future due to cost or skin irritation.
So it's a simple query. Can you pass on your experience of the three meters listed above, such that I can make a choice & pick one up from the surgery?
Many thanks in advance.
Peter
