[QUOTE="casamorena, post: 268488, member: 20502"] A GP I know is appalled that my own doctor prescribes me 50 strips a month because of the cost to the NHS. I told her that having been diagnosed in 2000 and still on diet only control I think that I have probably saved more than that by a) not having medication and b) not having the complications. Perhaps this is an impossible question but I do wonder how much it would have cost the NHS by now if I hadn't had the strips and couldn't maintain the control. [/QUOTE]
