[QUOTE="Nanonet35, post: 949124, member: 179279"] I received the same answer when I was diagnosed 2 years ago, so I decided to give The Diabetes type 2 programme a go, and it worked, I buy my own strips and lancets. Ive since changed my Dr. Although the new surgery cant supply me with strips etc., (Not policy in this area) the new surgery is very supportive, and congratulate me on my management of diabetes type 2 by diet only. It lovely not to be told "There is no need to test" I understand why the surgeries in this area, are not allowed to prescribe Monitors, lancets, and strips, to type 2 Diabetics, tis the policy for this area. But there is no need for Drs. or the Diabetic nurse, to be so rude, when I mention I use them, I have never asked for a prescription. they are worth every penny I spend on the equipment - Gives me peace of mind, as I get to know how much and what I can eat. At the moment, I am changing to baking my own bread, to get it right to suit my blood sugar Levels, I need to know the blood glucose levels, 2 hours after eating. I cant just guess. Hugs from Suffolk. [/QUOTE]
