I use Accu-Chek Aviva and have done since diagnosis. Needed some more lancets, usually get the packets with 6 drums. Was in Sainsbury so I went to the Pharmacy but they only had packets with 204 lancets. Pharmacy assistant said they are usually given on prescription. Went to local Pharmacy and they told me the same thing. So who are these people that are getting them on prescription.
 
.... Insulin dependant T2s.

& lucky "post code lottery" winner tablet controlled. I'm familiar with a lot of em in my area. :cool:
My dad had one issued too!

It's a disgrace it's not a standard across the board.
