I had no idea I could get test strips at a discount from the Chemist if my GP registered me with Diabetes Australia Association
I walked into Chemist warehouse yesterday and nearly had a heart attack when the pharmacist there says $49.50 for 100 test strips !!!!!!
I rang Diabestes Australia who said under the National diabetes scheme my diabetes registered number entitles me to a discount by giving the pharmacist my registration number so there you go you learn something everyday obviously the pharmacist didnt bother to tell me either...
How do pensioners afford that ??? Do pensioners use their Health care card or still pay the same price as me?
I have found Diabetes Australia info line very helpful ,never try to rush you off the phone and very informative
