[QUOTE="RoseRodent, post: 166134, member: 28905"] Yes a type 1 should "expect" their meters free in the UK because that is the agreement that the NHS has with the manufacturers in return for carrying their strips on NHS prescriptions. The NHS paperwork on the subject says that manufactuers are [b]required [/b]to provide meters free of charge to patients with a need for them. That is the way that the NHS has balanced provision of meters, instead of prescribing the physical meter they have an agreement with manufacturers that the meters are required to be given away, it's not goodwill, it's a requirement. It doesn't apply to the top choice of the fanciest meter, they just have to provide you with "a meter" but the information is totally clear, they are [b]required [/b]to provide free meters to anyone the NHS identifies to them as needing one.
