[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2391165, member: 521079"] Clearly the following is UK specific, I don't know about other countries it's NICE guidelines, may not agree but the rules have to have boundaries somewhere. I don't agree with everything the NHS funds or not but it's not an infinite bucket. They make choices and we can try and make these changes by campaigns etc but as it stands, the belief is built into the NHS that if you aren't at risk of hypo that self testing is not cost effective But we know on the forums that testing has a place. We advise where possible to do so, unfortunately I don't see NHS guidelines changing as they have already been in place decades. But given the cost of newer drugs maybe they might see cost effectiveness changing? Or maybe we should all wonder why the cost of strips are let's be honest, really rather high... [/QUOTE]
