[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 658852, member: 93179"] You don't know just how lucky you are!! I'm an old age pensioner (type 2 on metformin) and get all my prescriptions free, but no way will they give me any test strips. I've asked several times (actually at every appointment so far!) about getting them on prescription and have been quoted the oft heard refrain "Type 2 diabetics don't need to test....". So there's no alternative except to buy my own, and I have [B]still[/B] been told I shouldn't be testing, though at my last checkup our practice diabetic doctor, did allow that "... it's all right if you're just doing it as a hobby..." I despair... [USER=100221]@dianagrace[/USER]: I've never had the luxury of seeing a dietician, although my own GP did suggest trying the Atkins diet, otherwise I might never have considered a low carb diet.
