[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 602433, member: 84861"] Quite right - there are many varied reasons why test strips are sold on eBay by private sellers - gestational diabetes has been mentioned, and also people who have changed their meters, have had a bereavement in the family just for starters. I find it sad that they are on eBay at all - in an ideal world, all diabetics should have them on prescription - it makes no sense not too, except for the NHS bean counters :rolleyes: What is not helpful is one type of diabetic harbouring ill feeling against others. At the end of the day, the long term complications are the same. The struggle on a daily basis to deal with the "D" monster is the same . But not for one minute do I think that any Type 1's would or even could, have such a surplus on prescription that they use these to sell to those unfortunate enough to have to buy them.
