[QUOTE="Juliette40, post: 296701, member: 46645"] Hi Jude I'm not surprised. A reply from Chris Lowe was a little scathing I thought. If my GP surgery gets money for me then I'm fully backing that. I'm type 2 and lucky enough to get test strips on demand. That's 100 a month at a cost of £50. Additionally, since my diagnosis 13 months ago I have had 3 HbA1c tests with all the usual function tests taboot. In the initial months I saw my diabetes nurse at the surgery on a weekly then fortnightly and then monthly basis. Now I see her every 5 months. I have received all the stipulated health checks, been given excellent advice and support and have been sent on an X-PERT diabetes training course which was invaluable. And not forgetting the free flu jab which would cost me dearly at the chemist. As I age, I may require more visits to the surgery as complications may arise. £2000 a year seems nothing given what I am getting out of my surgery. I [color=#40FF00]praise my local NHS trust [/color]and thank my lucky stars that I live in Britain. Cheers to the NHS Juliette :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
