[QUOTE="Sharon Guy, post: 356367, member: 51755"] I am also in Derby and am being managed very well. My glucose is high so I am getting a lot of help, input and support. I got one of the lovely Freestyle Insulux metres free from the website and took it to the specialist nurse who nodded enthusiastically and put a note on my records for me to get the strips free as they are not one of the preferred ones. What bothers me is that it is so shortsighted. A friend of mine was able to control her diabetes remarkably well with diet and testing. If she was low first thing she would eat a higher breakfast and if she was high she would eat a low breakfast. Thus allowing herself to stay stable. She was then refused strips and her control went to hell in a hand cart. She is now on medication. Why can they not see that good control early on prevents the diabetes progressing and worsening and so saves money in the long run! Sharon [/QUOTE]
