[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 621057, member: 14029"] Hi Spike, nice to see you back hope you are feeling better now. :) Just to clarify it's not compulsory to have a diabetes review at your GP surgery. A prescription review yes as it's a legal requirement for a prescribing GP to do so. GP's do get paid extra for doing the diabetes reviews and these help to keep the surgery running. I just sign a disclaimer saying that I do not wish to take part, thus the practice still has the funding for me to be on their books. Problem solved. I do not have hospital checks either (my choice) It's illegal as far as I know to withhold insulin/life saving medication from someone and as test strips are in fact a life saver I would be inclined to follow through on that side of things.
