[QUOTE="carb-counting-mum, post: 352002, member: 54431"] No problems so far. My daughter's prescription is for a very generous 400 glucose test strips (also 40 ketone test strips). It started with 200, but I asked for more, thinking they would give me 300 or so. They doubled it. Great for me as it means I don't have to travel to the surgery every 3-4 weeks as I would have done with 200 strips. I really feel for type 2s who seem to have to either get by with 50 or 100 strips per month, or even buy the strips themselves. Really stupid in my opinion as it will surely be cheaper for the NHS to avoid diabetes complications. I don't see how you can have good control by not testing, or only 3 times a day. [/QUOTE]
