[QUOTE="akindrat18, post: 925116, member: 53120"] My doctor today refused to give me testing strips even though i'm on sr-metformin, gliclazide, ramipri and invokana. My blood sugars are still not stable with my morning blood sugar at 13.7. I told my doctor and asked him for strips and to change my medication, he flat out refused me strips and told me that I should contact my diabetes nurse. I don't even have one yet as my doctor was suppose to schedule appointment with them and he will not change my medication even though I am still high and . I can't change my doctors as its based on my postcode. I cannot pay for test strips as i'm claiming JSA and half of that is or rent and the other half is for weekly bus travel and a gym membership that I can't get out of the contract. [/QUOTE]
