[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 505021, member: 12578"] Following concerns expressed by DUK and others that " increasing numbers of people with Type 1 diabetes being refused prescriptions for sufficient SBGM testing strips to be able to carry out daily testing needed to safely and confidently self-manage their diabetes." The Department of Health sent a letter to GPs last year reminding them of the reasons for glucose monitoring in T1 .They concluded "GPs and pharmacists should work collaboratively with patients to ensure the optimal amount of testing strips are prescribed and supplied to type 1 diabetics. Too few can lead to serious clinical consequences. Too many can lead to wastage" [url]https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/214943/Safe-care-of-people-with-type-1-diabetes.pdf[/url] Seems like your mother's doctor hasn't taken note of the letter.
