Got a new test meter in the post from the drs with a "nice" little letter basically saying, hi, we want to save money so we have changed your test meter, test strips, lancets and needles!!!!!
I'm not against the save money aspect they propose but with no notice, just we have changed it all!!!!!! The stuff they have sent is about 100 years old compared to the modern functional items i have, and have in stock to use.
I am treated in a different district for my diabetes care to the one that simply has to print my prescriptions, but the drs don't seem to manage to understand that.
Do i have any rights to refuse all of this new stuff, i am happy with what i currently use its straight forward and compact. The hospital i go to has prescribed all of the kit i use everyday and they will have had no idea that it is all changed, i'm not sure if they can download my meter when i go or if it can print trends or results to show them
I have to go in and discuss it with the nurse if i am not happy, so thought i would see if anyone knows before i go in and play war!
