[QUOTE="anna29, post: 667476, member: 30936"] This post has grabbed my attention plus bunkeys retinopathy post . If these members didn't use a meter and test strips - how can they know things need attending to ? Just like the poor man akphoto above . No diabetic should be without test strips . Nor should ever be told to [B]not [/B]test their own BG levels . Another point I feel is a concern is - for those who [B]are[/B] already self funding their own test strips . Once we are steered down this pathway - what else ? would the system/laws make us start self funding ??? Easy for them to say - if they can pay for own test strips - they can start to pay for more diabetic tools,aids,meds even eventually . Please remember it is virtually [B]impossible[/B] for any diabetic to accurately 'guess' their own blood glucose levels ! Hence my feeling is the system/law needs a total reshuffle or relooking at for all of us . [/QUOTE]
