[QUOTE="stephiesut, post: 342895, member: 52017"] I am type 2 and I test daily, I get my strips and monitor on prescription. I do understand why they dont all routinely encourage type 2's to test, as it is expensive and some people just dont need to, or even want to test. My mum is type 2 and she has no desire to test, she is also very well managed and so has no need to test. But I have very badly managed type 2 and so I test. My gp's official stance is they will only give one box of strips per 6 months on prescription for type 2's but in reality they do give you more if you ask. Hubby gets a box a month at least, I only ask for one every couple of months and get them. [/QUOTE]
