[QUOTE="Major Robins, post: 322585, member: 50785"] Mine is not a case of not supplying testing equipment, more of changing mine without consultation. I bought my own Freestyle Lite meter- absolutely excellent. My sugery supplied the lancets and test strips for 5 years but now they have changed my 'script to a Gluco RX TD-4277 purely on cost grounds, so they say. My pharmacist has checked his supply prices and says that there is no difference in price ! in my opinion the Gluco RX is rubbish, the meter is too large as are the batteries. It is designed purely for use by a third person to read and not the person being tested. I don't like it, I don't want it and will be complaining as soon as. I believe that PCT's are over-ruling patients' consultation exercise and relying on the reps who have the largest expense account to 'push' their products. I am thoroughly disgusted with my PCT's and my surgery's high-handed decision I would recommend everyone who is dissatified to complain most strongly. [/QUOTE]
