[QUOTE="June_C, post: 1223090, member: 160690"] I was diagnosed T1 about 2 years ago and insulin, tests strips, needles and lancets were put on repeat. I'm no longer on insulin and have been told I can't possibly be T1, possibly T2 now. Because I have managed to get my HbA1c into the pre-diabetic range I was told I didn't need to test anymore. I insisted I needed to monitor my bg levels as I didn't want to end up with levels in the mid 20s mmol again and sustain unnecessary damage. My DN reluctantly agreed to keep lancets and strips on my repeat script. If a diabetic strives to keep the condition under control, avoids complications and saves the NHS money, why deny that person the very tools they need? [/QUOTE]
