[QUOTE="Mikrobe, post: 864958, member: 113102"] NHS Scotland appears to work differently to England and Wales. I am Type 2 and have been encouraged by my practice diabetes specialist GP, to test on a regular basis. This, since I was first diagnosed, and on diet only regime. I was put on Metformin some years ago, and continued to test, as advised. I am now also taking Gliclazide in conjunction with Metformin, and still test 3 times per day. This helps me control my diet far better. This appears to be one of the few occasions when NHS Scotland is better than NHS England. I must add that NHS 24, is far superior to NHS Direct, and their doctors would never give you such poor advice. [/QUOTE]
