I have two meter's and, as yet, they haven't been questioned or changed. But my needles were changed and also my Vitamin D and calcium tablets for my Osteoporosis.
Having a telephone consultation with my GP about a manufacturing problem with a certain tablet I take, Ropinirole, he questioned whether I actually needed them, without a face to face !! I couldn't do without them.
It's all about the cost and saving money and we, as the patient, are the one's who can suffer.

Hmm love the comment on Twitter 'but first they came for T2 meters and I did nothing...' Makes you think.
