[QUOTE="jay10, post: 147247, member: 28063"] I went to my GP for strips, I am T2 diet controlled at the moment but but with unstable blood sugers. I was told I could not have any as I was not on insulin and they are very expensive. I was told this by the receptionist who I duly reminded had no medical training, I quoted the NICE guidelines regarding unstable diabetes............to which she replied it says on the screen that you were offered medication (metformin) but you refused and are being un-complient so why do you want strips to help control your blood sugers and then she had the audacity to say that strips have a street value....Are you selling them!!!!!! Continuing with this conversation I found out that she had not discussed this with the gp as she makes thease choices :x .......so my treatment is now in the hand of a jumped up clerk not my GP. I have since wrote letters of complaint to the practice manager and local PCT and am waiting a reply. This is so frustrating, as everyone just wants me to take thease tabs, which I don't want to do. On a funny note when I said nice guideline, she thought they were nice in the sense of you treat me nice :lol: she thought it was a support group. [/QUOTE]
