Testing strips

Basically, just be glad he wants to test you every 3 months. That's better than most, otherwise you'll have to do like so many of us and buy strips. they're cheapest from the supplier and you need to remind them you are VAT exempt.

Hi there, are you wanting to test so that you can eliminate what are bad foods [for you] from your diet? If so try explaining this to your GP, sometimes they respond well to the fact that you are trying to help yourself. Most practices can provide an "out of hours" service for those who have jobs, pehaps your practice is one of these. My GP occasionally mutters about my testing, but usually caves in when I point out that by testing I have reduced my BS levels by a good deal, thereby lessening my chances of being even more of a "burden" financially :evil: Good luck , but remember you can often buy strips on e-bay, just follow the advice I was given, and check for a use-by date, and try and use buy it now!
