[QUOTE="AdrianBaughan, post: 251278, member: 41721"] [b]Re: Diabetes.co.uk PETITION for better access to blood testi[/b] Fergus, Thanks and yes I will prod my GP again - I haven't tried that hard yet to be honest. I will also be taking part in a clinical study at Oxford University where my friend is a researcher, so that will be further ammunition!
