[QUOTE="cugila, post: 151387, member: 15325"] This is frankly appalling ! Your GP (General Practitioner) is setting themselves up against a Consultant, someone who has had many extra years training to be in the position. TBH I think this is something that the GP and Consultant need to discuss. Contact your Consultant direct and inform him/her of what took place. Explain how you feel and that you have lost confidence in your GP. Hopefully, any Consultant worthy of the name will get on to the GP and hopefully sort things out. It may be correct that your GP doesn't have any meters available and that you need to get one through the Diabetic Clinic. This all smacks of being down to costs.....nothing more. For any GP to state that they only give one BOX of strips a year to a type 1 is scandalous ! If you are still denied any strips, complain to the Practice Manager, then the PCT if needs be. Do not accept this. You may have to find another more Diabetic friendly GP.......anything has to be better than this disgraceful attitude. My own GP never questions ANY prescription or recommendation from my Consultant. How it should be. Ken [/QUOTE]
