[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1709532, member: 93179"] It's very odd - if you're a type 2 on oral meds or diet only, you don't need to test for various reasons, e.g. your nurse says meters aren't accurate, others say that testing hurts your fingers, etc, etc... Tthere's a whole string of often nonsensical reasons we have been given, but they somehow magically [B]don't[/B] apply to T1 diabetics who really do need their meters to test. The rmain reasons why we have to self fund are generally those of cost, and my GP was honest enough to say so... Meters themselves are pretty cheap and they are often given away free, but it's the ongoing cost of strips that become expensive, as [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] has told you. Robbity [/QUOTE]
