[QUOTE="anna29, post: 666071, member: 30936"] QUOTE="IanD, post: 665720, member: 6186"]You are wrong, Sid. How often do newcomers arrive with that sort of question. DUK themselves advise & encourage testing. We are all in touch with health professionals, some of whom reject that advice because they know the value of testing, & the improved control it affords. Rather than the having the problem reported on countless threads, it could focus on one thread the many who have experienced such bad advice. Compare the poll on statin problems, which resulted in 60% of contributors suffering & giving up on the drug. Can we convert this thread into a poll?[/QUOTE] Polls from a forum don't get into downing street - only petitions signed by the people of UK [B]do[/B] . We have tried petitions in the past and sadly didn't accrue enough signatures to warrant it being/getting debated inside NO.10 . We really should have just 2 threads running here . (Then we can all compare between the two) 1. For the persons who [U]have experienced[/U] difficulty in getting a blood glucose testing meter/strips on the NHS. 2, For the persons who [U]haven't [/U] had any difficulty in getting a blood glucose testing meter/strips on the NHS . Any petitions succeeding in getting cabinet debate time inside NO.10 can take positive steps to change things for the better for us all . Any change's from the government can/will affect all GP and DSN and clinics . It is here - we need to influence and encourage the changes . To ask - who has or hasn't been told to test their blood sugars isn't [B]key[/B] to making a change happen for the better . Its more a [B]lack[/B] of supply of meter/strips to demand/need issue thing happening . Some GP/DSN/CLINICS are cash strapped hence their advice being what it is - "you don't need to test" mantra with [B]some [/B]HCP's . [/QUOTE]
