Hi im t1 diagnosed 5 months ago. Have been doing well hba1c is 49. Im using an aviva meter which i had to buy myself as the hospital did not have one when i was discharged. I am annoyed and concerned as I has a letter from my surgery saying they were changing my glucose meter to a wavesense jazz basically sounds like to save them money on the testing strips!
Really cheesed off as that meter looks cheap and has got bad reviews online. Also the lancets look fiddly. Don't think I could manage it mid-hypo. I'm sure its because of what was published the other week about diabetics costing the nhs 10% of funding.
I feel like swapping to a cheap fiddly meter is going to mess up my control, and its not fair as i've done so well so far.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
