[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1314379, member: 28960"] I have to say, Type 2s are not generally given a meter and prescribed test strips unless on medications that increase insulin production or, in fact, on insulin. Most Type 2s are told that 'Type 2s don't need to test' although, needless to say, Type 2s very much need to test. You haven't said what medications you are prescribed so you may well fall into this category, or course. The general feeling is that this is likely to be down to saving money, as you have mentioned. I would think there would be a lot to do with the surgery changing what they prescribe as any deals with the manufacturers/pharaceutical companies that may be available will have a huge influence as to what is available for prescription. I do hope you sort out your issue very soon. [/QUOTE]
