[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 925144, member: 43498"] I think the most important part of this problem is not being able to change your doctor... perhaps others in the UK can advise on what the situation is legally, as I thought people had a choice of doctor. Once you have a new doctor, they can review your meds and your BG levels and come up with an action plan to help you get your BG levels down. They should give you test strips if you are on meds that carry a risk of hypos. But it doesn't sound like your doctor understands that or even what your meds should be. [/QUOTE]
