[QUOTE="midlands girl, post: 473459, member: 93796"] Not true. All 100 Type 1 diabetics at my surgery have had to change. What makes me mad is that there was no consultation with any patients with diabetes. So something that will affect my health on a daily basis has been decided by someone who has no idea what it is like to test 6+ times a day every day for life. I accept that some standardisation is required to save money, but surely some sort of consultation would have been sensible so that all parties can be involved. The meters we have to choose from are definitely inferior and take much more blood to test - it's like going back 6 years. Not user friendly. Just a simple questionnaire would have revealed the points we find important in a meter, and would have helped them to make an informed choice instead of being presented as a fait accompli! Whoops, ranting again, sorry! [/QUOTE]
