[QUOTE="mickthered, post: 351910, member: 60468"] Just recently diagnosed with diabetes and have spent the last few weeks backwards and forwards to the docs for various blood tests and the likes After about three weeks and various docs I was asked what my levels were a had I been keeping a check on them I then asked how I was meant to do that as no other Doc had mentioned it An appointment was then made for me to see the nurse who then gave me a monitor and shown me how to use it . I was then told to try it out for a week and if I didn't like it to tell her at my next appointment and she would give me a different one Not liking the one I was given told her at the next appointment was then asked if there was any other I liked and I mentioned the Accu chek mobile a quick phone call to Accu chek from her and I was told that one would be sent out in the next couple of days then given a prescription for the lancets and the test cassettes which come in two to a box giving 100 tests At no time was it ever mentioned that there would be a problem getting a repeat prescription Another trip to the Docs next Monday so suppose better see how the land lies for future prescriptions after reading about them on here [/QUOTE]
