[QUOTE="F1john, post: 2282628, member: 499048"] When I first got diabetes I got told and given all sorts of treatment, the best thing was my specialist nurse. I was given urine strips, every test was the max of the stick. They gave me Metformin I was back on a ward after 3 days. My GP told me to drive the 100 miles like a saint home as it was possible I would be charged with drink driving. The then sent me home from hospital on guar gum powder I was so ill then I had to have the drain people out to fix all the blocked pipes from my house and in to the sewer. I was put on insulin twice a day and given blood strips not for a meter. 6 weeks after being on Human Mixtard out came my Specialist nurse who told me to reuse the 0.3ml insulin syringes with the needles already fixed for about a week and cut my test strips in half so I got 2 uses out of 1 strip. Later I became allergic to the Human mixtard and transferred to NovoRapid and Insulatard I have 5 injections a day, They gave me some cheap needles that bent some flimsy meter and finger prickers that were like fish hooks with a barb when they came out. I phoned my Diabetic Consultant and demanded an appointment so he rang me back. I was given a letter from the consultant telling them to give me my normal stuff and I am using Novapen 5 x2 peninjectors. An Accu-Chek Mobile Meter And BD microfine Needles. But I am type 1.
