[QUOTE="rosief, post: 185632, member: 33300"] We must all act as our own best advocates My GP was very difficult so I moved practices.I raised the issue of costs with my Diabetic nurse she said the costs were minor compared to the costs to the NHS of managing hypos, kidney malfunction and retinal damage I do agree however that the price of test strips is excessive - which is probably why free meters are offered, once we are on a meter the pharma company has a liscence to print money! The result may be that the NHS agrees a one off price for one type of low cost strip/ meter and we have to take that or lump it or self fund an alternative. Is that what we want? [/QUOTE]
