[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1011075, member: 21149"] What GPs don't realise when they refuse strips is that Late onset T1 is often mis-diagnosed as T2 (their fault) and high blood sugar can creep up without you knowing. My 22 yr old Nephew ended-up in Hospital with DKA and my blood sugar kept going up and it was only when I bought my own meter and strips that I was able to see the pattern. Yes, a 3 or 6-montly HBa1C can avoid that but in my year before insulin my Hab1C and meter readings shot up so I was aware of it. [/QUOTE]
