[QUOTE="Lode, post: 2625582, member: 576957"] Hi everyone, I am new to the site and am wondering if anyone has a similar experience with their GP practice? I am a long term Type 2 Diabetic, which is relatively under control. I received a letter recently informing me that I no longer need to use the finger prick blood testing, instead this will be monitored with my practice 6 monthly review. This soon after requesting new testing strips. Also received another letter which is more worrying, in which they said that there was a UK wide shortage of Byetta injections, they said that there were no alternatives and that I needed to manage without the medication. I know the NHS is going through hard times but this seems to be worse than I ever imagined. Thanks in advance for your experiences. [/QUOTE]
