This is very interesting. I got the standard brushoff reply when I asked about meters and testing on my first 6 monthly appointment after diagnosis. At my recent yearly review when the nurse was pleased with my consistent 5.6% Hba1C I politely pointed out that one of the key ways I've maintained this is because i use a meter and buy my own strips. I may write down my reasons and have a spiel ready for my next appointment, if hopefully I can maintain this, with the rationale as to how and when I use the readings, to see where I'm going right, and what doesn't work for me, to see if it'll change their minds if I ask again for strips on prescription. That's not for another 6 months tho..will watch to see if any developments before then.
