[QUOTE="gillyhill, post: 873189, member: 171458"] I agree with bewildered. It is a cost issue. I saw my doctor this morning, armed with copy of Nice guidelines, and asked. I told her I'd spoken to a diabetic specialist at an event I went to and he said I should have them. Especially as I'm losing weight. Therefore a lifestyle change as in guidelines. After the 'spiel' of no testing she gave me prescription for 50 and I got testing kit from nurse. Will supplement the strips I buy. So a small victory :) [/QUOTE]
