Hi all, I have a question about testing strips and how the prescription of these is managed by the health providers.
I lost my monitor provided by the GP and got a new Contour Next from this site. I used all my testing strips, and spoke to the GP surgery who put the strips on repeat. No strips showed up at Boots so I asked the GP who said this prescription item had been stopped...
No-one could tell me why and i ended up paying £23 for a new box. Obviously I don't want to do that every month!
Has anyone else had their diabetes prescription items, specifically test strips, stopped without warning or explanation?
Thoughts?
Sally
