I just got some on prescription, but my GP says this will be the last time. What is the logic behind this NHS decision? How are you supposed to know if your glucose levels go to high? When I attend my 6 monthly review, they do a fasting blood test, this is usually always low for me and seems pointless, surely you need to know what your glucose levels are after a meal.
Without being able to do tests at home, any problems people have with high levels will go unnoticed until they have caused problems, like retinopathy. Surely this will then put a bigger strain on NHS funds as they have to treat these complications.
