[QUOTE="kennethingram, post: 376826, member: 62657"] Hi Everyone, I’ve type 2 diabetic for 2 & a half years. Today because of my blood Glucose was always high for last 6 months, been given a Blood Glucose monitor. Although Doctor would have given me one on prescription, they gave me one they had at the Surgery. Apparently reps give them loads, because the manufactures’ make all the money from testing strips. The Doctor also gave me a prescription for 2 months’ supply of testing strips, prickers & told me to repeat prescription when necessary. Ive got to keep a diary of readings, before Doctor deciding whether im to go on Insulin. So im not sure what to make of it, is it the Doctor who decides who gets these strips on Prescription or circumstances? [/QUOTE]
