I live in the Haywards Heath area. Well, Burgess Hill but classed as HH. Although I am a T2 on insulin, so was automatically given monitor and strips, I was told even if I was not on insulin I would be given Test strips etc. They did lower my amount of strips but after I explained about post prandial (?) testing, they increased the amount!
Post code lottery? Although I hate this idea, this one I am glad about - for me anyway.
