[QUOTE="satindoll, post: 1592124, member: 121584"] Hi Stuart..........thanks [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] for the tag........I have had this discussion with my own surgery when they wanted to change my meter to a cheap strip model..........my answers to their trying to do so is: 1) I need to be able to trust my meter is giving me a reasonably true reading before I inject either my basal or bolus insulin. 2) I need to be able to trust that my meter is giving me reasonably true readings before and during driving. 3) So far to date my meter averages have been in agreement with my hbA1c results, or at least within the 0.05% allowable margin of error, so I believe its as accurate as it can possibly be. The NICE/CCG guidelines are just that and your GP/DSN can override this if they feel your control is helped by keeping your current meter..........from my own experience if you keep on at the GP to retain your present meter for the above reasons they will give in. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
