[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 119736, member: 20775"] The NICE guidelines on this make for an interesting read: [url=http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/pdf/CG66FullGuideline0509.pdf]http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/pdf/CG ... ne0509.pdf[/url] Of particular interest is Recomendations 23 (page 51): The final point I think is a real killer in this instance. So if you are T2 and on any kind of medication for it then you should be able to argue for test strips on safety grounds for driving at the very least. For those recently diagnosed or still fiddling with lifestyle then I would say R22 gives you the amunition you need argue for the strips, at least in the short term... there is no point making changes to your lifestyle if you cannot quantify what their effect is. I'm T1 so don't have the problem you guys seem to face getting supplies and I think it's disgusting that they make it so much harder for you all. Maybe try fighting with the NICE guidelines and see what that gets you. Best of luck to you all Andy [/QUOTE]
