[QUOTE="Sharlieboo, post: 152020, member: 24965"] It's all be sorted out now - thankfully. I've been going round in circles being told different things though for best part of a week. GP spoke to consultant at the diabetic centre as to why she felt I needed to test. Cons clarified why but hadn't realised it was down to her to sort out a monitor for me whilst I was there in clinic. So I was told to go and pick one up from the hospital and GP would prescribe test strips. Only change being I'm only to test for 2 weeks and not up until my next appt. If my levels remain raised over 2 weeks of testing then my glic dosage is to go up pending results of the all the bloods I've had taken to establish exactly what type of diabetes I have. I was pulling my hair out at one point because hospital said that I wasn't to have a monitor even though gp and cons had agreed I should collect one from the hospital. That took some sorting out but now I'm due to go and collect one on Friday so, fingers crossed, it will be an end to the whole sorry monitor saga. [/QUOTE]
