[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 459634, member: 21149"] Hi. There is no shortage of BD Microfine 4mm needles which my chemist always has in stock. They did change their branding late last year so you have to make sure the GP is using the latest correct name. As far as I know Glucogel is still available and you can get Ketostix on the web. I wonder whether you are just worried about hypos or actually having them quite often? Are you having problems with good blood sugar control? Do you need more guidance from the GP on dose adjustment or perhaps we can help with hints? I always have packets of glucose tablets handy and although not always as useful with a full hypo as Glucogel they are very cheap and can be bought anywhere. BTW I'm surprised you actually need Ketostix. With some exceptions ketones normally only appear if you have very high blood sugar and are in ketosis as well; perhaps you are one of those exceptions?
