[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 147049, member: 23764"] Hi I ent to my G.P surgery a few days back to get a repeat prescription for my glucose test stripes and asked the receptionist "Why have my test stripes been taken off of my repeat prescription?" As i am having to go into my surgery near on every 8 days for another prescription and write out a form requesting them instead of just ticking a box and handing it in. The receptionist replied " We are not allowed to put test stripes on repeat prescription anymore because there are type 2 diabetics who are doing 4 tests a day when they only need to do 2 and it is costing the NHS to much money". I find this very unfair because they are also punishing the type 1 diabetics who need to do 4 or more tests a day. Tracey167 [/QUOTE]
