[QUOTE="PurpleHippo, post: 2415213, member: 544848"] It seems bonkers to me that diabetics can get free prescriptions but not testing equipment to monitor our levels and manage the condition effectively. When I was pregnant with my youngest, 13 years ago, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes about 2 weeks before my due date. They still gave me a glucometer and test strips, despite them also telling me that they were going to induce me within the following few days ♀️ Feels like it’s politically motivated, rather than clinically driven, to me… [/QUOTE]
