[QUOTE="RosB, post: 2424318, member: 546280"] Today I took in hubby's written permission for me to access his records. Unfortunately they will take days to do a 10 min job of scanning it into the computer (can you tell I'm sick of them yet?). He's sent in an online request for his actual date of diagnosis and to be told his BG levels. No reply as yet (not holding my breath). I DID get him a free BG meter and strips, after telling them that THEY sent him a message saying I could pick one up for him. I asked if ALL his prescriptions are free now? She didn't know. She went and asked and came back and said yes, they're all free now and gave me a form for him (and a doctor) to fill in. I also gave them a copy of his complaint letter, which has been sent to the Commissioner of NHS England about them. Hubby bought himself a Pre Payment Certificate for prescriptions in June this year. Obviously he didn't know he was entitled to FREE prescriptions since 2019, so once he gets a date of diagnosis I will have the task of trying to get back as much money as I can from his PPC and previous prescriptions (again, not holding my breath). THANK YOU for all your advice on this thread. After approx a week of following your dietary advice, hubby is starting to feel better! Which, after all, is the most important thing. :D [/QUOTE]
