[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1871613, member: 196898"] The NICE guidelines that govern nearly all aspects of NHS primary care only allow Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (aka meters for home use) under very strict conditions. Normally T2D will not get that support unless on insulin or certain other diabetic drugs. I qualify because I am using one of those drugs, and also a driver, and also had to demonstrate with my own meter that I was running my bgl into the hypo range, so therefore at risk. I also had to use my supplied meter to demonstrate that I was usefully using the feedback I was getting from it to actually make changes to medication. With these in place I got full suppport from my GP and the Specialist DN and get strips on prescription. I still test 3 or 4 times a day after 3 years, and I still tweak my treatment from time to time. My sugars have fallen dramatically as a result of using a meter. [/QUOTE]
