[QUOTE="heleni62, post: 898711, member: 102451"] Hi, this is my first request for information from fellow Type 1s. I control my blood sugars by being carb aware and frequent blood glucose testing ( up to x8 per day). My last HbA1C was 50 - which I am pleased with. My problem is that I have just moved house and have had to change my GP. At my previous practice my repeat prescription allowed for 200 Aviva test strips monthly. My new practice is not prepared to give me more than 100 strips per month, and, in fact this month have refused my request for strips completely. The receptionist (don't start me) suggested that I am "over testing". I am a nurse with 13 years ICU experience so my understanding of the condition is good. I'm feeling quite stressed by it all, and just wondered how many times a day other Type 1s are testing. I look forward to hearing your replies.....it can be quite isolating dealing with diabetes.
