[QUOTE="KeithSimpson001, post: 1260291, member: 306511"] You should ask for the contact details of the authority determining what your GP can prescribe; you will then have to argue your case [as I did] for permission to have Contour Next strips prescribed by your GP. The case is quite simple, the cheaper test equipment [in my case Nexus Gluco Rx] that they would prefer you to use is less accurate; basically you get what you pay for & accuracy isn't cheap. You will need to take some comparative tests between your equipment & what the GP has given you to prove this point but in the end [if you are tenacious] they will give the GP permission to prescribe what you want. However, they will still try to ration you to 4 strips a day which really isn't enough. [/QUOTE]
