I was wondering if anyone knows the real reason Dr's don't prescribe testing kits? I was diagnosed a few weeks ago after getting another abscess operated on I asked at diagnosis if I would get a blood testing kit and was told "no it will make you depressed" at a later appointment with the 'diabetic' nurse I asked why I had not been offered one to which I was told "you will just make your fingers sore".
Why when I demonstrate a wish to control my diabetes am I denied the tools which will help me? Surely it will save the NHS money in the long term?
I have bought my own kit but just can't understand the mentality.
