[QUOTE="Corrodine Healer., post: 857556, member: 105549"] My daughter is also on Metformin and has to buy her own test strips, because I am on Insulin, I get mine free. Everyone who is diabetic should be able to monitor their own glucose levels, to be in control. It is a travesty but true most clinics and surgeries have a limited budget and the decision to cut down on issuiing testing kits is purely financial. This monetary consideration, takes precedent over the health of the population. This is not only applicable to diabetics. [/QUOTE]
