[QUOTE="Munkle, post: 1705183, member: 469161"] Thanks everyone for all the advice. I left a voicemail with my endo's receptionist a few days ago but they still haven't got back to me and I wasn't able to get through to them today. However, I didn't try much as I was busy. I still haven't even managed to talk to my GP. The receptionist has been arguing with me all day, I don't think they know the difference between type 2 and type 1. Even tried to twist my words when I said I was in a certain city for a meeting today and they tried to say I should be in that area's care, seems they really want to get rid of this problem. Today ended with them saying we won't give you strips until you visit us but we're fully booked so try to book tomorrow etc. What's worse is that they're trying to make me visit their nurse, not a specialised diabetic nurse, just a normal nurse. So apparently my endocrinologist and the nurse that hangs around the diabetic ward are going to be outsmarted by my local gp's nurse. I suspect I'll get through to my endo tomorrow and it'll be sorted but how this is even legal or happening is beyond me. The way this started is me checking my prescription went through a few days after I sent it, they didn't tell me they rejected it, I had to check myself. Lucky this wasn't an insulin prescription or I'd be totally screwed. Furthermore, if they truly believe I'm using a prescription wrong, perhaps tell me at the start of the next prescription? not when I'm almost out of what I need to live and only when I check the prescription status myself? Obviously I could buy strips if I totally ran out in the next few days but I wouldn't have the money to do that every month. Wonder what would happen if I didn't have that money. Guess I'm just ranting at this point. [/QUOTE]
