[QUOTE="FrancesB, post: 351296, member: 58978"] Viv, after seeing a GP who didn't know me and refused me strips, I finally got to see my usual GP (he's very popular!) and he prescribed me test strips. He did say that knowing me so well (over years and years), he was confident that knowing my readings would motivate me to keep to a lifestyle change over a longer period of time, but he also said that's not true of all people, and that for some people, knowing what their levels are can make them feel like it's not worth bothering trying to control them. I don't doubt his opinion, experience and expertise. It's an interesting thought, but I still wish doctor's wouldn't assume one over the other without listening to the patient, especially when they don't know the patient very well or at all.
