Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrman" data-source="post: 433064" data-attributes="member: 40510">But how much would the nhs save if people were able to test regular and reduce complications.  Type 1 myself and fortunate I am able top get test strips without problems, 300 at a time.  If these were halved or stopped I would be unable to drive as per dvla rules and probably have erratic sugars constantly as I would not be able to test, adjust, learn accordingly.   Things change very quick for me I have noticed every so often I need to adjust basal,qa ratios, be it weather,excercise,stress,illness, etc.  how many type 2s are refused strips or given an amount that is no use at all.  if they could test regular surely they would learn what to do,  Also, where is the proffesional support for people who feel alone and slightly alienated.  Surely prevention of complications would be more cost effective than treatment, curing of them.Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
