[QUOTE="mycanal, post: 959384, member: 46589"] hi All, i need to help, support and advise, that what are my options, rights as diabetes type 2 as my bully GP Nurse is forcing me to quit testing BG level on daily basis and insist that I only check twice in a week only, thus she will only allow once cassette of 50 strips per year Max. The main problem is the cassette expire in 90 days, so she might try to change my testing meter, which I love as its pain free, and handy (Accu Check Mobile). She wrote me letter that I will only get one prescription per year for testing strips only. As type 2 what r my options, rights. how can I argue/claim to have atleast 4-8 cassettes per year. She always inject me with Flu jab without asking me if I want it or not. I feel like she is controlling me for her bonus/target etc. I do not wish to have flue jab but she is not in the mood to hear NO. I think , my last option would be to change GP, but she might write notes about limited test strips which might transfer to new GP as well. She says no point in testing BG as if it is high, there is nothing I can do..but in fact I use Gliclazide only when my BG is over 9. Otherwise I only use Metformin slow release. but she insists that I must use the medication (gliclazide) on daily basis. but can manage few days without it. what r u suggestions.. i am trying low carb diet although i love to eat food but i have cut down a lot. still not loosing weight...
