Hey guys,
I've messed up and run out of testing strips today, any idea how to go about getting some for over the weekend?
 
Go see the pharmacist you usually pick you prescriptions up from and ask if they will do an emergency prescription. If they know you and know that you are usually picking up insulin, needles and test strips they probably will give you a box of test strips to see you through the weekend.

If not, you'll just have to buy some strips. If the chemist has some in stock they can just sell them to you over the counter. If they don't have any in stock you can ask if they would phone other chemists near by to see if they do. Or you can do an Amazon prime order for a quick delivery.

I meant to put this in with my other post.

The pharmacy I go to is open seven days a week. If I run out of any of my medication and I do not have a script for it they will give me the tablets, and I owe them a script.

Seeing as you have scripts for strips the pharmacist should give @domscott strips if he is a regular customer there.
