[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1433877, member: 32394"] NICE guidelines NG17 1.6.17 say that when choosing blood glucose monitors for type 1 diabetics doctors should take the needs of the adult with type 1 diabetes into account and make sure the monitor meets current ISO standards - [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2[/URL] So, do you have any particular needs that mean the basic glucose monitor isn't good enough? Do you need to download info onto your laptop to enable you to maintain glucose control? Do you need to use a bolus wizard? Those are things that might suggest your GP isn't meeting the NICE guidelines. Do you have a DSN? It might be worth seeking their support to press for a prescription for a different glucose monitor.
