I recently asked for a third time for a box of bayer ketostix and I am now questioning if they have been withdrawn and same with glucogel. I hope the doctors realize that I need both of these things as I don't have any way to test my ketones if I have any and I don't have anything to counter the hypo's, would have thought they put patients safety first, i guess not.
A similar troubling story with the 4mm needles where I request them from the chemist and they have none left, I asked again for the product with the different name but same size of needle, I go to another chemist and they give me the same story. I can't inject more than 4mm because I have no fat on my body and I will inject into the muscle which is not recommended.
I only really need to know if ketostix and glucogel have been discontinued or not.
