[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1670193, member: 388932"] Hi Randi, Although I was type 1 for decades the following is just as valid for Type 2. A friend of mine in Suffolk who is Type 2 has been refused testing strips on prescription. On several occasions at work I noticed that she was hypo. If a diabetic is trying to run a balanced regime, how can they do it without a meter? The reason has to be that your doctor has been given a limited budget. My pharmacy at the local surgery tried to cut back on testing strips when I was at my illest. I wrote several complaints to higher authorities and my MP and got a result. I reckon they only take notice of serious attackers. Sad, but that is what we have come to. I'm surprised you have given up caffeine - they reckon coffee is very good at staving off diabetes! Since I got rid of Type1 4 years ago, I drink a lot of real coffee - hardly ever until then! I hope you get the better of this pernicious condition. Good luck [/QUOTE]
