Some nice snide remarks, best to say with a deadpan face
Pharmaceutical companies gives you [o]razors[/o] meters for free."If we gave every T2 a meter, the NHS would go bankrupt."
Just got athlethe's foot, finger is sore too. By the way if you give me decent needles the finger doesn't get sore. Luckily the nice guys where I donated my blood gave me a box of single use needles for free."You'll only get a sore finger."
There are meters that transmit data wirelessly to a personal computer or a smartphone, and there are application that will warn if the measures signals something wrong."People fill in the numbers without doing anything about them, or they fill in their records and make it all up while they're waiting to see us."
I'm already anxious and obsessive. I have also just bought a new Opinel knife because I've lost my older one"It'll make you anxious and obsessive."
ONLY? You risk amputations, blindness and neuropathy like a type 1. Yes I'm lucky that i don't have to inject myself, FOR NOW."You're only Type 2!"
Could you put this in writing? Besides, if I prefer to check that the diet plan is actually working I have no means to test it."If you follow our diet plan, you shouldn't need to test."
Ok, give me the meter and please explain me how to use it, and when to test for effectively track the diabetes."I'll happily give you a meter, but we no longer prescribe the strips." And so on...
Stupid beancounters... They surely prefer amputations and bariatric surgery...Meanwhile, husband, diagnosed 16 years ago, DID get a meter and test strips, lancets, etc. on prescription, but had them taken away over a year ago. "Sorry, this isn't funded any more," he was told.
