I've noticed that some people are buying their test strips I've got mine on repeat prescription I'd be interested to no if people have lost their repeats and have to buy their own I think this is disgraceful

it is disgraceful that majority of type 2 have to buy them, it's because the drs won't prescribe monitors/strips to type 2 in certain areas >.<

Unfortunately most GP practices will not prescribe to T2 diabetics who are either diet controlled or on metformin as it's considered either not becessary or too expensive.
