[QUOTE="eddie1968, post: 936540, member: 108082"] I'm not in the blame game either, some people develop diabetes for many reasons and some people who you think are ripe candidates for T2 diabetes don't develop it. Just one of life's mysteries. As for the cost issue the NHS sees the priority in the worst cases and they get free stuff to complement meds/insulin/other injections whereas the rest are left in the dark to get on with it, self-educate and fund their supplies. I remember when I bought my first meter, Accucheck Aviva cost £15 and a box of 50 strips was £28. That could be a lot for someone with not much disposable income. [/QUOTE]
