[QUOTE="Nanjay, post: 1188, member: 790"] I recently changed Doctors and the practice nurse told me that the PCT (Epsom Sutton & Merton ) had instructed local doctors not to prescribe test strips to patients on Metformin with type II as Metformin they say does not cause hypos. On cost grounds. She said the Doctor would prefer to prescribe them, implying that his hands are tied. There was a response to a petition on the Downing Street web site which paraphrases a letter sent by the then Minister for Health to a diabetic lady on another forum so I copied the whole lot into a letter which I have sent to the PCT. However, I am not holding my breath. My last doctor did prescribe them but that is the only positive thing I can say about my last doctor! (oh, he had a nice practice nurse, too). Jan [/QUOTE]
