[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 9399, member: 7788"] Hi Sue, thanks for your reply. Even though this Desmond idea is promoted for type-2 and tablet controlled patients, I have felt the back lash, even being insulin dependent for 19 years. I was told when trying to get my usual repeat prescription for testing strips, that i would have to see the nurse before I could get them. I was told that "diabetics had been abusing the system"! The problem was soon rectified when I spoke to another member of staff. I was disgusted that a member of staff at a GP surgery would say such a thing about patients-but she must have got her information from the GP or Nurse in the practice. I found it so insulting that it should be suggested that diabetics would "abuse the system" and feel very strongly that it is unscrupulpous GPs that are doing exactly that! With the help of the "desmond" initiative, they will now have PCT and government back-up. Even more worried Justine :x [/QUOTE]
