If you're going to get one on line you could get an sd code free cheaper on ebay . Strips are £7 a pot of 50. Free pp and vat free for diabetics. Very quick delivery. You could get one in for emergencies? Just a thought.
That's the ones in boots and other chemists. Sd code free has a mixed review but I'm happy with mine! As I'm t2 (which is a post code lottery) my doc wouldn't give me strips as I didn't need them when taking met lol! I bought my own accu heck meter but then discovered the sd code free - recommended by one of the guys from this forum. It's bigger than my accu check but easier to use. Strips don't require as much blood. Lancet not so nice but I'm a big girl (in more ways than one but shrinking fast!) so I'll deal!
You still need to do 4-6 fingerprick blood tests a day when using a CGM so the SD Codefree is probably a good investment.
The woman deserves everything she gets and more! Am generally not catty but perhaps if I explain why you'll understand. As soon as I was diagnosed, I was sent away with a pack of metformin and told to look on the internet when I asked what I should eat. I did. Found this site. Went LCHF and kept a food diary. Thinking this was sensible. A week later on the same day, I had a hyper, was reprimanded and told to go to my docs and get sorted as my LCHF diet was dangerous and wrong for a diabetic, sent home and went straight to the docs to have to wait 2 hours in the surgery. I was frightened and upset. That was when I saw this dn. She was rude and told me that my diet was dangerous and impossible to maintain and that I would end up binge eating. When I asked why she responded with "right, that's it. I'm referring you to the hospital. " I sill eat LCHF to this day. I have tried all of the 4 starchy carbs but as they send my bs through the roof I think I'll not bother.Meow!
I know you are angry with them and with very good reason but I think going down the legal route will just give you more aggravation than satisfaction. I would just change doctors and write them a letter explaining why, and how badly you have been treated.
Just make sure you are doing this for the right reasons, not for revenge or out of anger. If you can still make a cold, calm, logical argument for going down the legal route then that may be right for you. Otherwise I tend to agree with Spiker, just leave and tell them why. I would hate for your health to suffer more because of a potential court case. It's not just a case of why should they get away with it?... you also have to consider the effect on your health, relationships and business.
