[QUOTE="sue cope, post: 358612, member: 56200"] I am Type 2 and have had no trouble getting a free blood testing meter from one of the companies producing them, and all the things I need to go with it (test strips and lancets) from my GP on prescription. Keeping good control will save the NHS lots of money if you can avoid hospitalisation for various diabetic complications, some of which can be serious and costly. However, I am on Insulin and maybe GPs don't want to pay for test strips etc for those patients who aren't. You could just try asking again, pointing out the benefits to you and cost saving for the NHS ! [/QUOTE]
