Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleGreyCat" data-source="post: 1404219" data-attributes="member: 6467">Depends on the ethos of the surgery.If the surgery is willing to go that extra mile to help the patient then you are likely to get test strips (if you demonstrate that you are using them and understand the results and implications).If the surgery is regarded as a money making machine for the partners, and each wishes to wring as much as possible out of their (often short) term as senior partner then they are less likely to prescribe anything that the don't absolutely have to. Also to really lean on you to accept any drugs (stains - looking at you) which have a bonus for prescribing.I seem to be very fortunate in my current (and also in my previous) GP practice.</blockquote>
