Hi i wonder if anyone can help me here, i am type 2 and as such i have been told by the nurse at my doctors, that i dont need to test every day, so i have been really careful about what i eat and upped my excercise regime over the summer and lost 3 stone in weight and feel tremendous.
But....
my doctor will not issue me with any test strips, i have had a box of 50 last me from march till september, and went in for some strips in september, and was told as i am on repeat prescription, i needed to come in for a diabetic review, so i booked an appointment for my bloods which took us through till october and then last week they rang to give me my results appointment which is the 28th of November, so i STILL have no strips for testing, and they wont give me any. Now i dont mind not having to test everyday if i dont feel rough, but when i do want to test i should have the strips.
does anybody know how many you are legally allowed.
