[QUOTE="RichardofYork, post: 1137304, member: 115797"] It seems NHS policy has changed quite recently. I was told only T2 patients on medication can get testing strips free on prescription. Policy is designed to save NHS money rather than having anything to do with good clinical practice. Patients who are pre-diabetic and control by diet & exercise can no longer get free strips or meters. The fallacy is, of course, that without testing, you cannot control T2 glucose levels. You must monitor and test to manage. Only a third of pre-diabetic patents go on to develop full-blown T2 but that assumes they follow strict diet and exercise life styles...and monitor their BG levels. [/QUOTE]
