[QUOTE="999sugarbabe, post: 873287"] Sounds like you've now got a good surgery. There are a few about, but I think they are in the minority. At the end of the day it is entirely down to economics. Short term it saves the G.P's a lot of money NOT prescribing test strips. Long term, it costs US toes,feet, eyesight etc. They are gambling with OUR health just to save a few quid. This is the price we are all paying now that health care is a BUSINESS, not a service. Thank Margaret Thatcher (the witch is dead, horray!) for the gradual undercover privatisation.
