[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 543373, member: 94210"] If calamity is T1, has high blood sugar and has a stomach bug (with no means of testing) then she is at risk of ketoacidosis. As you have already acknowledged, it is very dangerous and irresponsible to leave someone in those circumstances without strips. If the NHS do not like patients going to the hospital, then they should address the poor practice of some doctors who pay lip service to a serious, life threatening condition rather than deal with it in an appropriate manner often due to financial constraints but at the price of the patient. As it turns out, the op has been given some strips but if non had been forthcoming then yes, I think it would have been perfectly acceptable to go to A&E. [/QUOTE]
