I'm living in Turkey at the moment and using Abbott strips in a Boots meter. Out here they're about £15 for 50, which is about £9 cheaper than in the uk if I recall correctly ??
When diagnosed, my GP said he didnt think I needed a meter, and due to recently published info wouldnt prescribe strips at all, as evidence said there was no benefits being seen in the profession in doing so. Hmmmmm
Since joining this forum I see I'm not the only one am I ,!!!!!!
I tried to access the link to the NICE guideline, that's shown in this thread but it keeps saying the link is broken , any advice on this please, because I will definately be showing it to my GP when I return.
It seems alot of people still have them prescribed, that some have been restricted, some cut down or like me refused.
The more comments I read on the Forum the more obvious it is that some of us received the most rediculous GP/Healthcare advice , from those who are supposed to know more about it than we do !
