[QUOTE="PenfoldAPD, post: 1121487, member: 256043"] As a relative newbie I'm interested in Type 2s who have successfully got a monitor and strips on prescription - and have got enough strips to test regularly (7 a day or so?). Has it ever been available? I'm self funding, and able to do it - but it's still money I'd rather be spending on something else. It has helped me enormously - but it makes me sad when people coming to the forum say they will have to look at the cost of testing and decide if they can afford it. I've looked at Freestyle Libre but for me it's a step too far - nearly £30 a week? Do you think things will change and we will get testing on the NHS? Should we push harder - surely strips would be cheaper than drugs? [/QUOTE]
