[QUOTE="CathyP, post: 555499, member: 53422"] On T2 diagnosis I was given a meter and 50 test strips by the practice diabetic nurse.I tested different foods as suggested and ran out of strips within a couple of months.I tried to get more strips and was told by the doctor that I dont need to test and that I am allowed a maximum of 50 strips per year - pretty pointless really. I have signed up for this program as it is so much cheaper than buying the strips and lancets - it costsabout the same as the prepayment prescription certificate I used to have to buy before diagnosis. Strange thing though whenever I see a doctor for any issue I am asked whether my diabetes is in control .My answer - how would i know as you do not give me any strips to test and you only test my HBA1C annually. I am moving soon - anyone know of a GP in Stanford- le- hope in Essex that prescribes strips for T2s? [/QUOTE]
