After being welcomed into this forum of interesting and knowledgeable people on diabetes (as I'm a novice)some were concerned that I do not test, well to cut a long story short, I felt I should and would start getting my act together and bought a testing unit from a well known chemist it has starting materials like test strips and lancets. Set it up then found no lancets, followed by enthusiam slump. Went to shop explained situation, they transferred a pack from another unit (you get 10 of each items).
I enquired to cost for further strips and lancets, as this appears to be reasonable for the lancets (not so for the strips) I decided to get more there and then. You have a choice of 4 different lancets (none of which did they have in stock) so they ordered them, they weren't in on tuesday (though I was told they did have them in stock where ordered from) and still haven't heard if they have arrived today. As there is no point in my starting to use the unit until I have more lancets temper, enthusiam, anything else one can list, is rising and falling (just like the sugar levels)!!!! Tomorrow won't come too soon, I feel this is an absolutely rediculous situation as testing may have been very important to me already, plus I paid in advance. Fantastic service.
PS Not told or asked to test by Dr, this is my choice. Therefore not requested on prescription, I guess this problem would not occur then.
Just had to whinge about it,sorry folks. G
