[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 902311, member: 19121"] Hi Stemar Im afraid I still hold the same view that I held last year when the op posted: I have edited the post down to the relevant parts that I was answering. I am not against testing and if you think that I am you are totally wrong, no what I find ridiculous is that members here apparently thinking they have the power to change NHS policy by naming the doctors who wont prescribe test strips!! Which apart from seeming to me to be rather sinister it is just plain ridiculous IMHO. I have controlled my T2 for over 6 years now by losing a lot of weight and testing my blood glucose before and after eating [B]every[/B] meal for over 12 months continually tweaking the carbs in my diet and finding out what I can and cant eat but more importantly what I can eat and in what portions, so you are preaching to the converted telling me how important testing is. That was not the point of my post at all. But of course if you share the view that naming doctors who will not prescribe test strips in the UK will make an iota of difference to NHS policy that is, of course, your prerogative. I would also point out that generally speaking it is forbidden to post details of particular doctors or even hospitals here especially in a negative light as it could be construed as libellous which the forum owners would not wish to defend I imagine.
