[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1559063, member: 30007"] You need to go back to your doctor and ask him if he was giving himself injections of a lethal substance multiple times a day whether he'd be happy to not have a way to monitor it safely. He's breaching NICE guidance on insulin use, as all insulin users are supposed to be prescribed test strips. I'd definitely go back and have a fight on that point.
