[QUOTE="Sharlieboo, post: 152252, member: 24965"] Thanks, and you're right, I am considering changing GP. The nurse at the hospital was great yesterday, very helpful. She was also apologetic that I'd been messed around so much. She couldn't understand why my GP couldn't just have arranged the script and 10 mins needed to ensure I was shown how to use the monitor. She gave me enough strips and lancets for almost all of the 2 weeks I need to test even though I wasn't technically her patient. The diabetes cons spotted me on my way out and again said sorry for way I'd been treated. She told me she had had 'a good telling off from the GP'. I think she was shocked by my GP's behaviour. Typically I phoned my GP to ask for the script for the remaining lancets and strips and she called me a 'star' for getting the monitor etc. I'm relieved it's all sorted out now. A bit confused by the readings so far though. 7.9 before lunch yesterday ... big drop to 4.7 just before dinner, so I was expecting a similar reading just before breakfast but it was 7.6. The tricky thing will be limiting myself to testing randomly before meals twice a day ... I suddenly have the urge to keep testing lol. [/QUOTE]
