(I'm Type 2) I found it absolutely eye opening, it allowed me to know exactly what my blood sugar was doing and enabled me to adjust my diet to reduce it if my B/S was either rising or falling with out going to the trouble of continually having to prick my finger. Which meant I had far greater control of my B/S.At my last Diabetic review I explained how it had helped me control my blood sugar much more effectively. But explained as a pensioner I was unable to afford £50+ every two weeks to continue with this method of monitoring. I was told that it was not generally available on the NHS and it was only prescribed under specific criteria.What a shame that such an effective method of control is not available generally unless you are able to pay for them. Has anybody else experienced this and any suggestions of how to obtain it for free or a significantly lower price?</blockquote>
