[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 582010, member: 8110"] I contacted NICE a while ago and they say they don't stop GPs prescribing strips. However they qualify this by saying that strips should be part of a planned and agreed system of control. [I paraphrase their words] You need to try to get your doctor to agree your treatment. I suspect a lot of GPs just hand over the medicine and do a check of HbA1c once a year as the cheapest strategy, without thinking of the patients as individuals. In some cases it might be time pressure in others it's sheer laziness. Hana [/QUOTE]
