I remember going to see my consultant. He had a cannister of strips. You did a finger prick then tested it against the cannister which showed a number of different shades of blue. He gave me a few strips to take home, but had to cut them down the middle. As a full cannister cost £5!!!. Not long after that my dn showed me a machine where I could check bs. I was able to buy one from boots for £45. I also bought my disposable syringes and needles before we could get them on prescription. I really do think times now are better
