My DN also offered me a meter (on loan) and a prescription for strips etc so maybe things are moving on.
The nurse was even more forward thinking than the DR. - thought it a good idea to wait three months before satins, recommended this forum and thought testing was a great idea. Even supportive of the LCHF diet - just reminded me not to much saturated fat but a balance.

I got back to DN on 22/6 for 3 month reviewo_O will be interesting if she gives me a script as she said she wouldnt put them on repeat,i wasted over half when i couldnt get blood, but i clean houses for a living and a couple of my customers are diabetic, they said its stupid they wouldnt give me repeats, both of theres do;);) so im ok for lancets and strips at the mo:happy::happy:

@goosey39 Can I just ask what machine you have please? I bought a Code Free, I'm just wondering what my chances of getting strips and lancets on prescription are.

Oh so it is possible, thanks for your reply! I have a follow up in July for my first HbA1c test since diagnosis. If it shows an improvement maybe I can bargain with them as it is proving invaluable to me to gauge how I doing. After all if I can prevent complications I'll save the NHS money in the future
