[QUOTE="serendipity, post: 259920, member: 41480"] Because Metformin hasnt worked for me since being diagnosed in the New year I wasnt testing. After my latest Hba1c and high LFT'S My Diabetes Nurse has changed my Medication. I am no longer on Metformin instead a drug called Glimepiride which I was told helps your Pancreas and she said I need to test. She gave me a BG STAR monitor with 50 test strips and 100 lancets inc and these have been put on repeat prescription, what I dont understand is I test once one day (fasting test b4 breakfast) next day twice ( main meal and 2 hours after) She will phone me in 2 weeks time and Increase my tablets from the info I tell her on the diary she gave me and told me to fill out. Im wondering if it depends on the Medication your on as to wether you are offered monitors/strips/lancets on prescription? Luckily my Prescriptions free. [/QUOTE]
