[QUOTE="Dragonflye, post: 501678, member: 34887"] Having experienced a refused prescription in the past for test strips I have found more information about this... they cannot refuse you... after the incident i spoke to my GP and apparently they have to try and reduce the amount they are prescribing BUT it shouldnt be a t1 (or anyone on insulin) As a T1 you should be testing at least a few days througout the day (and thats if your sat doing nothing) but then considering if you drive, you have to test before driving, test when hypo etc you cant set a number of how many test strips you are allowed to use. Funny problems with pharmasist was mentioned... picked up my prescription at beginning of week and the silly lady tried lecturing about not supposed to give so many test strips in 1 go to someone (just told em its not for them to decide, but the doctor) [/QUOTE]
