[QUOTE="kimkennedy1989, post: 436629, member: 86116"] Hi all :) I collected my repeat prescription today and was given half my normal amount of test strips.....has this happened to anyone else? I get 25 strips per box (normally 2 boxes) so I'm now going to be ordering weekly rather than fortnightly (unless I'm ill or need to test more regularly due to hypos ect) so I'm constantly going to be requesting prescriptions! I also requested a glucagon hypokit pen as my current one is due to expire...the note left from my GP was 'unable to prescribe within 12 months of last one due to costing £12 each'. That's ridiculous! If I had became unconscious and had to use the current one, they wouldn't give me another until it was passed the 12 months??? Anyone else having issues with prescriptions or their GP? Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
