[QUOTE="Malcolm1, post: 611918, member: 115398"] Just a quick update from my post last Friday, I put my complaint letter in to the doctors Fri afternoon and received a phone call on Monday asking if I could go in and see the practice manager today, turns out that they had changed everyone over to the new meters, test strips and lancets, as she put it was a blanket decision to cover all the diabetics on their list but if any patent did not wish to change they were no obliged too ( but they did not say that in the letter) I think they were hoping that no-one would object, so I have kept my meter and they will continue to prescribe my test strips and lancets as before. So if anyone gets a letter from their doctors telling them they are changing their meter, lancets and test strips put in a formal letter of complaint stating you are allowed your test strips and lancets on prescription for your meter and see what they do Copy of the letter I sent to the doctors [SIZE=1]"To Admin at Stanley Medical Group (as no-one could be bothered to sign the letters I do not know who to address this reply to) I am writing this formal letter of complaint as I have received two letters from your practice in recent days, about my Insulin Pen Needles and my Blood Glucose Meter and test strips, that you have decided to change without any consultation with myself I do not care which needles I use for my Insulin Pen, But I [U]bought[/U] my Contour Next USB as it allows me to log both my insulin and Carbohydrates on the meter and compare them with my blood readings and I have no intention of using any other meter, I will not be attending the clinic, I will not be collecting a Omnitest 3 Test Meter from the practice nurse, if I cannot test my blood because you will not prescribe me with the test strips I need (which I am allowed on Prescription) that is your responsibility and any outcomes or repercussions thereof will be also be your responsibility."[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
