[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2072159, member: 451727"] I sometimes wonder whether the reason they won't give strips and a meter to the type 2s who WANT to test, is because they know that those people care about their health to the extent that they will take precautions no matter what. They know that those people are more likely to buy their own if they don't get given them so they are probably thinking 'Why should we bother'. It's a similar principle for the allocation of a libre, talk about jumping through hoops. Those showing an active interest in monitoring and managing their diabetes are NEVER the priority when it comes to help. I do get that the NHS has a budget but I also think they could make better decisions based on the individual in front of them (who is TRYING) rather than a blanket NO. I wonder whether type 2s who do not manage their diabetes as such get offered a meter & strips in order to improve? [/QUOTE]
