[QUOTE="Craigybus, post: 262582, member: 43258"] I must be one of the lucky ones too, as the practice nurse gave me a Glucomen LX tester, and put me on repeat scrip for 50 strips & 100 lancets. I find it strange that you get twice as many lancets as strips though. I also registered the meter online with the manufacturer, and you can get free diaries and replacement batteries. Thankfully I have a medical exemption cert, so the lancets and strips cost nowt. It does anger me that some GP practices are treating us diabetics like garbage. My old GP in Leeds took levels of incompetancy to a new level, and kept misdiagnosing my diabetes, just saying I was run down. A trainee doctor tested my bloods, and I found out then I was diabetic. The idiot GP also lost my claim form for medical exemption twice! I also had to kick up a right stink to get a meter. The first time I tested it, my levels were 28! That idiot GP could have killed me! [/QUOTE]
