[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 817621, member: 84861"] Go in person to your practice, and see the Practice Manager as a matter of urgency. Explain how and why you use the strips, and ask for a prescription to cover the Bank holiday. Also ask of you can please have a repeat of at least 100 , so that you are not put on this dangerous position again. After the bank holiday, if you are under the care of a hospital diabetes team, contact them and explain what has happened, and ask them if they would write a letter to your GP with recommendations that you have access to sufficient supplies. It is unacceptable that an insulin user should be left without test strips, but it's usually a computer restriction that can be lifted immediately once the situation is explained. Signy [/QUOTE]
