[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 505064, member: 11028"] Unfortunately there has been a few members of late say that their PCT have changed them over to another meter manufacturer, I'm not sure there's much we can do about it except complain to the PCT's, all they will say it's all down to cost savings as bulk buying from one manufacturer for the test strips will ensure that the prices are kept down. As for restrictions for a type 1's, I would have posted the link that Phoenix has kindly provided above and taken this letter along to remind the Dr what was sent to them in February last year, when my own gp said I was testing too much and that 4 strips a day was sufficient I just got my Endo to write to him to say this was not true and that I needed to test more on basal/bolus, it did the trick as there's been no mention of restrictions since.
