[QUOTE="StuartMoss, post: 1591601, member: 243402"] I want to upgrade my test meter. I was given a meter by Roche free of charge a while ago. My diabetes nurse told me that she would not authorise test strips for this meter on prescription and also that when my current meter dies that I will only be allowed to replace it with a very basic meter. I am type 2 treated with insulin, long term Lantus and fast acting Novorapid. I should be carb counting with the evening meal but I have no confidence in doing that. I have not used the Novorapid for a while for the same reason. I normally test when feeling hypo and before driving. The Roche website advises that the meter for me is the Accuchek Expert but is only available from my Diabetes Nurse. My question is how do I find out what testers and strips are available from my GP without running the risk of being downgraded to a basic model meter? [/QUOTE]
