[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1310065, member: 32394"] If you've been diagnosed type1 and you're in the uk be aware that nice guidelines provide for type 1 diabetics to be supported to test 4-10 times a day, or more if necessary:- [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2[/URL] (NG 17 1.6.11-12) Discussions with your GP might include why the guidelines are not being complied with. I mean you could be prescribe 50 strips on repeat. But this would require requesting a repeat prexcri to be filled more than weekly. Seems like an unnecessary admin burden for both patient and GP that could easily and sensibly be avoided by having a chat with your GP to get a script for 200-300 test strips, on repeat. [/QUOTE]
