Hello everyone
I recently had an appointment with my GP who asked me to "try out" the Gluco Rx Nexus mini meter as the prescriptions were half the price.
I appreciate their need to save money and if the meter does the same job i cannot see the harm however after reading a few reviews i see people are not happy with the accuracy of the meter. I therefore want to know whether i should bang my drum all the way back to the GP's surgery?
I use quite a lot of sticks 8-10 a day, which i believe to be reasonable for good control and i can see therefore that halving the cost of prescriptions is appealing for them. I don't want to cost them more money and nor do i want to create a fuss if there is no need but what are your experiences? Have you been "offered" this other meter?
Would be great to hear from people in a similar situation.
