[QUOTE="l0vaduck, post: 29256, member: 7164"] When I set up repeat prescriptions with my GP, I let him know what a month's supply of each medication consists of, and that's what I get. We're not supposed to be prescribed any more than that in the UK because it promotes waste, apparently. Nonetheless I was getting more than I ever needed of insulin simply because it comes in boxes of 5, and I used one pen every two weeks. I had to let him know that he wasn't giving me enough test strips to last me a month (he put 50 on the first prescription!) but after I wrote him a note, I got 300 no problem. [/QUOTE]
