I am really thrilled. My GP has completely stuck to his word. At the diabetic clinic I asked for a meter and strips and he agreed. I just had to wait for the diabetic nurse to come back from annual leave. Well, today I went to see her, and I am now the proud owner of a new Accu Chek Aviva, and 100 strips. I can get more strips as and when I need them. The downside, the scripts will stop once my HbA1c is below 6.0. I have my appointment for that June 27th, so I may loose my free scrips pretty soon, as I am sure I will be under 6.0 then. I am not going to see this as a negative, as I have got them now. I am hoping if I can show my GP the benefits of testing he will continue the scripts. Fingers crossed.
