GP as good as his word

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.
 
Well done you! I'd be saying to the doc, if they ARE under 6, "how about prescribing me just 50 every 2 months if I KEEP them below 6?" Anything is better than nothing, and worth a go!

Exactly Grazer. "You are not going to take them away JUST as I have managed to get them under control.... I may go right back up again! I NEED them to keep me on track. Has the merit of being true. too.
 
Good idea Unbeliever and Grazer. I think having lots of weapons in your armory is certainly a way to get HCP on side!
