One would think your NHS would use the same brand of strips and meters for everybody. I mean a strip's a strip right? Just contract for the cheapest ones that meet the quality standards and go with them. But that makes too much sense for gubment work. You gotta have lobbyists and contracting agents and a bidding process and a review committee. Maybe "The Russians" tried to influence your strips contract like the did our election. Right?
i am just formally complaining about my GP practice. we have no usual GP, they rotate through really fast and are sometimes completely absent. the nurse practitioner pretended to be a doctor and in 7 months the practice has not gotten one prescriptions right.
