[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 348396, member: 17713"] I can actually ...( Really rare for me). See why gp may have the idea of not needing to test... He is seeing that your levls are not going horrendously haywire with highs.... But he is probably ignoring fact that some meds can send you to having lows... There are guidelines for strips for type 2's on and or without meds... I personally think that you ould be on the boundary between need/not needing strips. If you have told gp your levels as above... Tbh... I as someone who demands strips... Would find it difficult to see a huge, huge, beneficial cost to nhs of prescribing them to you... So sorry.. I like to back everybody up with bloodstrips but am really doubtful that you will get decision changed... Although, i hope you do. Maybe that GP would prescribe wee test stix instead?? Something better than nothing? [/QUOTE]
