Yes she was trying to limit strips, so I will buy some of my own as well as prescribed, but that will be after I've had a word with the doc.Hi Paul. Was the nurse trying to limit your strips?
Hope you advised her that only testing at that time would not be accurate and have many disadvantages especially if you have dawn phenomenon or hypos!
Seems some doc's need educating, mine seems to know what he's talking about, but time will tell.Ignore her. 4 doctors have told me I am cured and they cant understand how my HbA1c came down so quickly, then gave me a row for testing.

That's interesting, I'll remember that.If you drive they cannot refuse to supply your strips or they will fall foul of the DVLA rules, just tell them you drive.
are you sure about the diet part? Do you have a link?DVLA rules state that you must test before driving and every two hours whilst behind the wheel, even if you are only on diet control or tablets as you can still have a hypo.

Ok I think it is because you are on Insulin.Sorry no link, when I was first dx'd Dr told me to ring DVLA and tell them I was newly dx'd an diet only, so I did and the lady there said they wouldn't need to have my licence back at that time till I started on insulin but to follow the driving rules which are to test before starting off and every two hours behind the wheel to rule out chances of hypo's, and that's the rules I have followed since, because even if you are just diet controlled there is always the chance of running a low bs level.

Diet only is unlikely to hypo. Unless you have Gnosher syndrome.
