[QUOTE="Tracyst68, post: 345902, member: 57293"] I have been cut from 2 boxes per month down to 1. I usually test 2x daily but unfortunately because of the reduction one box will only last 2 weeks. I have had Type 1 diabetes for 28 years and have never abused what I asked for, it was for a reason. Significantly my diabetes is being affected as I now find my readings are all over the place. I work within the general practice area where we are told that diabetes is on the increase. As a diabetic we are told to take care of ourselves by watching what we eat and what signs we need to look out for but this reduction is going to have a knock on effect on the overall health of diabetics and will end up costing more due to the complications that we can face :!: At the surgery where I work our medicines management team have struck a deal with a company for a 'preferred glucose testing machine and test strips' but whether this will in turn increase the amount of test strips a patient can have we will have to wait and see. :thumbdown: [/QUOTE]
