[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 962280, member: 43498"] I suggest you show them the part of the NICE guidelines that say T1s must be given enough strips to allow testing at an adequate number of times per day. They also say T1s must be offered basal/bolus, so 100 strips for 6 weeks wouldn't allow testing before each dose, plus testing before driving. Another factor is that the DVLA requires people to test before driving and every 2 hours while driving. Either the practice manager is not good at maths, or they haven't read the guidelines. [/QUOTE]
