I have a query for anyone living in Ireland. On a monthly or 3 monthly prescription I can only get 100 strips per month. To test 4 times a day I need roughly 120. My doctor says medical card can only supply me with 100 max. But I can get a box of lancets every month without a problem. Each box contains 200 lancets. As a result I don't need a box per month but I am always questioned about whether or not I testing if I don't request lancets. Does everyone have this limit put on number of strips? Buying extra costs €40 per 50 so is a big expense.
