[QUOTE="julie56, post: 1122841, member: 88494"] I was given a monitor and strips on prescription, plus having diabetes gives me any prescription for free. However, it wasn't long before I began to feel a little uneasy about the NHS providing me with the strips with the squeeze on funding and so I asked for it to be removed and bought myself the sd codefree. I don't know how I would manage without it - it is relatively cheap - I don't need to test all the time now. I know not everyone can afford it even at such a low price so it's a shame the NHS can't provide something as cheap to those who can't fund it themselves. If by having a meter and using it properly the amount of medication may be able to be reduced and save money in that area. [/QUOTE]
