[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1202773, member: 32394"] Who are the "they" who will not give you another monitor? As an interim stop gap you could buy one or just google "free glucose monitor uk" lots of companies will send out their monitor in a free starter pack, with a limited supply of strips. As you have just moved house, you should get yourself registered with a GP today and then they can sort out a repeat prescription. Alternatively, if it is near enough you could go to your current GP and explain the situation, they will likely sort you out with a script for a monitor and strips enough for a week or two until you are registered with a new GP. Once you have a monitor and test strips on prescription, call the customer services line of the company who make your monitor and ask if they will send you a monitor for free for you to keep as a spare so you don't find yourself stranded without a monitor again.
