[QUOTE="cugila, post: 174209, member: 15325"] Now we have had a few more T1's answering I am going to put my own view in....... It's scandalous that you as a T1 are being expected to do with only 4 tests a day. Totally against all sensible guidelines especially from the DVLA and also NICE. My view is complain officially to the Practice Manager where the issue would have to be discussed at a Practice Meeting. If that doesn't get the strips back in the quantity you require then complain to the PCT, your MP, anybody who has some influence over the decision. I am a T2 and frequently test 6, 7 or 8 times a day, especially if driving any distance. I don't have a problem getting up to 200 a month. You should ask for the decision to be confirmed in writing and their reasons. Tell them you will keep a copy in case anything happens in the future ! Pressure them Nigel !!! :twisted: [/QUOTE]
