[QUOTE="JohnFT, post: 139569"] I submitted a request for a test strip prescription at my GP's on Tuesday. On turning up today to collect said prescription I was politely told that it had been turned down. I was given a note saying "well under control no need to test". This is from a GP who hasn't seen me for 6 months. I explained that I was experimenting with new eating habits and wanted to test more frequently. Fortunately the receptionist was lovely and she happened to mention that the former Diabetic Nurse was in for the day. I saw her and had a good old chat as we knew each other from before. After a bit of discussion I left with a prescription for 50 strips. This hardly ranks up there with negotiating world peace but I felt a bit chuffed with myself. Just thought I'd share. [/QUOTE]
