I've taken up residence in France a number of years ago and found out that I was Pre-Diabetique. So I bought a fairly inexpensive test kit to monitor my blood glucose. With the help of this forum I got some very good results, my HBa 1C is now around 5.6 mmol/L But only my constantly checking ! I used to get my Gluco-Navii test strips sent over from UK every six months or so, but now I've been told that the supplier can no longer send them to France.
As I'm not actually classed as diabetic I can't get a monitoring system under the national health system here. I have to buy it privately and the costs are three times higher than anything I could get in the UK. Anyone else in this situation ?
