I am so angry. Just been to pick up my repeat prescription, of which one of my items should have been 2x boxes of 50 BG testing strips. Get home to find no test strips. Check my online account. Rejected for BG testing strips, with no reason given.
Last prescription was 22nd May, latest order was put in 1st June. That is 10 days between. I have to get new testing strips every 14 days otherwise I run the risk of running out.
I am so angry that a Dr surgery can refuse me access to testing strips. I am not testing my BG for fun.
Does anyone know how I can get any help with this? I have asked them before if I can put my prescription up to 4x 50 strips, but I was told that due to NHS cuts I am not allowed. This means I have to go every two weeks to collect more. I find this an absolute joke.
Any ideas? I know there was things on twitter/email about refused access to testing strips a month or so ago??
Thanks for any help.
