[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 803537, member: 111960"] Unfortunately it's a common response, apparently us T2 don't need to test, even though many of us prove that it is the best way to get control. The NHS is very much about save money today, and someone else can worry about spending tomorrow. So while giving out meters and strips might cost them today and would save money from the reduced number of complications tomorrow they can only see the cost today. As for me, I have realised that it's my body that will be suffering the complications and that is something I would rather put off as long as possible, preferably until after I have died of something else, I also don't like the idea of self injecting several times a day, I guess I'm a bit of a wimp, so the longer I can keep off injections the better. Fortunately the money I have saved on not buying all the chocolate, biscuits, crisps etc more than pays for the meter and strips. [/QUOTE]
