[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 187202, member: 19121"] I ps. I had no problem completing the survey BUT as with all surveys the questions are very black or white with absolutely no grey areas anywhere when in fact I could have offered far more information. I answered that I am T2 on oral meds have no problem getting test strips, test less than once a day and never get hypos. I could also have added that I used to test 7 or 8 times a day when I was on insulin and only rarely test now because I have a good understanding of my dietary needs. I could have said that I did once have my prescription for test strips reduced when on insulin but when I asked how I could fulfil the DVLA's recommendation for testing before driving my script was reinstated. I could have mentioned that I now only test aprox one or two meals a week or if I am ill or eating new food. I do believe that self testing is fundamental to good control for newly diagnosed diabetics, but once good control is achieved and maintained testing is far less important which is why I now only use about 25 strips a every couple of months or so.
