[QUOTE="Stallen, post: 1058360, member: 223641"] I'm currently testing around 10 times a day since stopping my diabetic medication in favour of LCHF due to having a few other complex conditions, I saw my GP this morning to catchup on how I've been the past 4 weeks, I've had 3 bouts of infection 2 colds and a brief worsening of one of my conditions. She as always was sympathetic with my complex health and can see that the recent results have been good, despite the BG rises in days I've been ill, when I ordered my strips I get 200 on prescription, I'd run out a week early last time, the pharmacy then questioned that I'd had 4 boxes only 3 weeks earlier and that they couldn't order them that early, I explained that I'd spoken to my GP and that I was trying new foods and monitoring for spikes, and that I had also quit my meds 18 out of 21 items, they did put an through an order in the end and I got my prescription. I mentioned this to my GP today and she's more than happy to issue strips as and when I need them, if the pharmacy or anyone at the practice questions my usage to just send her a note and she'll deal with it. One of the best things has been to seeing the rise in BG, before I get the full on symptoms of illness, I can then plan my days better and not over work myself. [/QUOTE]
