Very hepful, tubs. I think that's a cut-out-and-keep for all the T2's who still struggle to persuade myopic hp's from doing the right thing by their patients. For your next trick, any chance the Govt. could lend me £8bn, just till the end of the month of course. Would be a big help with my cash-flow and I promise to pay it back when I'm good and ready? Please?Any PCT which is automatically discouraging the prescription of blood glucose testing strips is not acting in according with NICE's advice that self-monitoring may prove useful to people in their overall approach to self-care.
I thought that was surprisingly enlightened actually! If you gain good control of your bs, particulary if you're T2, there's a good argument that both of these things ought to be true.How anyone would think that self testing would help someone lose weight or reduce incidence of hypos is beyond me - but there you go.
All the best,
