[QUOTE="justCarol, post: 873240, member: 122687"] I have found that neither my current doctor or the doctor I was previously registered with are not trained diabetes specialists, I now attend a Diabetes Clinic. My doctors have always been prepared and willing to prescribe test equipment, even providing a new monitor. What the NHS needs to do is to stop doctors prescribing for over the counter tablets and vitamins etc that cost the NHS far too much, I am also against doctors prescribing aspiring - these are extremely cheap to buy over the counter and anyone on a low income or on a pension can afford them at approximately £1.05 for 100 tablets - that's what I do. So these are just a couple of ways the NHS could save - probably - a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
