[QUOTE="mo1905, post: 377345, member: 55195"] Unfortunately, there is no law that states you are entitled to test strips. There are NICE guidelines, but even theses have many grey areas. Generally, type 1's will get free test strips, amounts vary. Type 2's newly diagnosed will generally get strips, for a while. After that, some type 2's on any meds that can cause hypo's will get strips. Again, this is not always the case. I would suggest not screaming and demanding strips from your GP but try to reason with them and perhaps negotiate what you can. There will always be certain GP's that are more compassionate with diabetes than others though. Good luck to all !
