Hello! I'm new to this so if I've posted under the wrong topic please let me know!
I've been diagnosed type 1 for 18 months now and my a local doctors now has an online prescription service which is very handy. However recently when I "ordered" my usual blood glucose testing strips I noticed my prescription was declined. I rang surgery who said I was ordering too often and had to cut down the use of my strips. I was taken aback because although I do test myself 4-5 times a day, I feel they are all warranted. I test before food and before driving. Am I being over cautious?
I have seen a lot of discussions about people with type 2 being told they couldn't have strips which I think is ridiculous too.
Any thoughts?
Ellie
