My local Diabetes Centre at Kettering General Hospital have BM testing Meters/Monitors available in their waiting room for a " Donation " .
I thought this was very good, especially for those on benefits and wanted to share this information with anyone in the area.
I understand that some doctors will not prescribe lancets and test strips for type 2's and in some cases will only let type 1's have so many. .... and they do work out very expensive to buy !
However, My Gp is very good and always make sure i have enough.
I dont know about anyone else on the forum ( and i will might get in trouble for offering ) but i would be willing to give away ( post) any spare lancets or test strips i find that i have left over from my prescription each month, to someone using the same meter. It might not be many, but if it helps I am willing to do my bit.
