Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 112231" data-attributes="member: 15325">Unfortunately Linda it isn't that simple.  Many of our members are forced to buy their own strips as the GP/Practice decide that it is too expensive to prescribe them, and also in some way, stressful to test ?  This means that many cannot get them prescribed at all or are severely restricted, i.e. 50 strips for three months or less. An average of 1 strip every other day.  How anyone is supposed to control Bg levels with only that number of strips is beyond me. At this moment I have to test anything from 7 - 10 times daily......fortunately I have a GP who is happy to let me have 200+ a month without any hassle. The opposite side of the coin.  Even then I sometimes buy some from Ebay to supplement what I am using.</blockquote>
