[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 667530, member: 94210"] In an ideal world I would agree with you. However it is now used as an excuse not to give out strips. I am an educated, intelligent woman. I am perfectly capable of understanding my meter. I use the data to inform my meal choices. I have radically altered my diet. Would my DNS/doc give me a meter? Err no! I had to buy my own. The only reason I got one 4 months later was because the locum prescribed one after I begged! Many people don't change their diet (I work with such a person) but the advice I was given by the half wit DNS who spoke to me was to follow the eat well plate which allows you to eat what you want but control the portion size and that I didn't need to test. Utter rubbish. How can you know if the food you are eating is having a harmful effect if you cannot measure it's impact upon your bs? Many people follow the advice of their DNS or doc to their detriment. You only have to read the previous post where the posters bs was 25, having followed the advice of the doc! [/QUOTE]
