[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 191393, member: 30851"] Unfortunately it is a lottery. I would gladly change my GP if there was any reliable way to find out how diabetics are reated in a particular practice. Even if there was a way things can change, I have never yet been denied strips but i know that all the younger drs have been trained to think self t.esting unnecessary ,even counterproductive . I recently met a young locum who couldn't understand why the hospital had asked me o est for a specific period. I understand this locum is now a partner in the practice and oversees the diabetic reviews I have been supplemenrting the strips I get on prescription myself so as not to rock the boat but I would find it difficult to buy all I need myself. Even asking current patiens about the practice is unsatisfactory. So many just do as they are old and tend to jusdge the practice on "bedside manner" Which is ,of course , a good hing but not necessarily the most important. [/QUOTE]
