Hi Chloe
ive been reading the msgs in this thread and as usual get myself hopping mad and somewhat worried for people using insulin and esp bolus basal. Ive never known an insulin regime to cause so much trouble for diabetics esp where getting the basal balanced up ok with the bolus is concerned. If your GP due to the CCG that thehy come under, is now unable to issue you a prescription for teststrips due to ££££££ , then ask to be referred to see a D consultant at hospital on the grouns that you would like to change to a different insulin regime that will give you stable bg levels with little need to test bg. The GP wont like doing the referal as the need to do so, could be avoided simply by issuing a prescription for teststrips which should be 200 at least. The D consultant wont be too happy either esp if the appointment to see the m is down to not getting sufficient teststrips due to cutbacks.
