Hi Guys,

I'm attempting to set up an online repeat prescription through boots online service. Here's my question..

I use Contour test strips,easy to find on the boots website shop if I wish to buy them myself, but not amazingly obvious when setting up the prescription online.

Has anyone managed to do this successfully?

The only thing I can find remotely similar is a non descript "Contour biosensor strips". Does this mean Blood glucose test strip? I dont know!?

If you go to boot.coms and search for contour you'll find it under the prescription tab.

Is this what I'm looking for?!

What do you guys think?
 
Hey,

I'm newly diagnosed so just getting this set up for the first time.

The repeat prescription says the correct thing. My question is specifically relating to setting up the boots online service.
 
I can't think of anything else Contour biosensor strips could be referring to; on the other hand, however, I would have expected the "correct" name (Contour biosensor strips) to appear on your prescription.

Personally, I would just the pharmacist since they tend to know this better then the staff preparing the prescriptions (since they have to pick the item from a list, this leads* to them picking the first thing that starts with e.g. Contour which may or may not be what you need)

* According to my pharmacist when I tried to explain that my clearly written and detailed request for "HumaPen Luxura HD" and "Humalog Pen Cartridges (300u at 100u/ml)" had mysteriously turned into a prescription for "HumaPen Luxura" and (two packs of) "Humalog Kwikpen". Now, half of the item on my repeat form are stuff I have never requested or needed.
To be fair, there is huge number of products out there - e.g. 20 hits for "Lantus" (pre-filled pens, pen cartridges, vials plus needles and lancets specific to a particular manufacturer's products).
