[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 256181, member: 11028"] They Might do but I can't see it somehow. Last year a doctor in my gp practise tried to restrict the amount of bg strips he would prescribe, said that I only needed to test 4 times a day and not 6-8 times as I would normally do, after explaining that I needed to test pre-meal as per DAFNE, post-meal if exercising, before and during driving and last thing at night before sleeping.... this all fell on deaf ears. Rather than sit there arguing I later spoke with my hospital consultant who agreed with my need to test and wrote a letter to my practise to say as much. So obviously the hospital consultants presently have the authority to over-ride decisions made by gp's, had this not been the case then I would be restricted to how many times I could test each day which would impact on my employment and everyday life.
