[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 1348811, member: 119069"] I have received several posts on my Facebook page as below I would like to highlight the government removing the subsidy for blood test strips. Diabetics need very frequent blood testing 5+ times a day. The cost of strips is £70.00 outcome reduced blood glucose testing and more hospital admissions from hyper or hypo glycemic Diabetes . . . I am asking if everyone could put this as their status for 1 hour. I'm pretty sure I know the ones that will. Think of someone you know or love who has or has had diabetes. My hope is that in 2017 a cure will be found. Will you post it for 1 hour? To honor those who have fought or are fighting diabetes.[IMG]https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v6/f4f/1/16/1f601.png[/IMG] Now I have heard nothing about this, hopefully just some scaremongering. I am sure most on her benefit greatly from testing regularly, which in turn should lead to better control/less complications Anyone else see or heard about this [/QUOTE]
