[QUOTE="MellitusTrap, post: 1009884, member: 240863"] Diabetes is hugely personal. When someone says I can't have something I think will benefit me, this animal inside me rears its head. I am Type 2. I was on metformin and overtime other drugs too and now insulin aswell. The truth is, I wish someone had explained to me it was nearly impossible to get a hypo back then - it would have calmed me down a lot. However, a doctor who laughs or belittles you is not someone you should trust your health with. My final bit, to back the NHS up a bit, is to say these strips are extortionate. If they weren't, we'd all just buy them ourselves. Don't blame the NHS - blame the fatcats! We should all find a company that doesn't rip people off for testing strips and move in a huge group. To quote muse, "It's time the fat cats had a heart attack!" [/QUOTE]
