[QUOTE="maggie1956, post: 645403, member: 128846"] I usually find it easy to get test strips but if I test more than twice a day and run out then of course I have used them too quickly.The doc at the diabetes clinic has told me I should be able to get as many as I want particularly if I drive which I don't.I ordered a sharps bin....this took 8 days to obtain rather than the usual two as bins are not on prescription and after 2 attempts at surgery to find out where it was nobody knew its whereabouts.Have also been given syringes instead of needles on ocassions as surgery unable to read properly.Also been given lancets instead of strips and vice versa.After a recent blood test has a call to say I needed test re-doing urgently and to do it next day....but could I get a form...course not..my surgery do not get test results for a week so know nothing about it....so when seeing clinic doc following week told him....said should have been done right away and I could have been poisened...got 3 prescriptions coming today so hey fingers crossed.
