Lack of choice of insulin for newly diagnosed patients.
Dog owners who let their dogs poop in the street-a hazard for most, but worse if you're visually impaired!

Hi all,
Many people have reported probs getting the necessary glucose-testing strips from their GPs, I also had this problem with a couple of GPs in the recent past. I'm a type-1 on insulin. I recently found a document from my PCT which has shed some light on the subject. It's no surprise that Type-1s and 2s are having probs,if a health authority can publish such nonsense. :evil:
Pay particular attention to the advice for type 1 and 2s in this document. http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cac ... 0DDao7y5Fw
I've always checked at least 4 times a day on normal days-if I'm ill it's a lot more than that.
I also thought that drivers on insulin were supposed to check before they embark on a car journey.
Is this kind of advice common-place in the NHS?
