[QUOTE="db89, post: 2055379, member: 374526"] Hi [USER=507100]@Luciel[/USER], in the short term I would be making a nuisance of myself if necessary to ensure that you quickly get whatever supplies you currently have run out of which you need. In the longer term, it sounds like they need reminding of the contents of [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/importance-of-finger-prick-tests-in-managing-type-1-diabetes']this letter[/URL] which was sent to all GPs a few years ago along with the NICE Recommendations for Blood Glucose management, specifically in some key points in [URL='https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2']Section 1.6[/URL] (1.6.11 sounds most relevant for you). You will probably have to formally raise this with the Practice Manager by letter (including copies of the information above). You will need to set out the issues and what you would like for outcome(s) factually and without emotion as [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] suggests she has used herself and hopefully you can then get them to stop this situation from happening going forward.
