[QUOTE="vedekj, post: 794280, member: 164421"] Hi Guys, I have been recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Since then i have been fanatical in getting this under control. You can imagine my surprise when i was told by my nurse that i wouldn't be able to get the monitor and testing strips on the NHS. This was due to me not being at risk! I find this strange since i at the time i was 29st and now diabetic i would have been a prime candidate for this. According to my nurse though they don't provide the strips anymore and a blood testing monitor without the strips is as useful as a chocolate fireguard. I have had to purchase the kit myself for me to manage my condition properly. Has anyone experienced this problem in the UK and if so how did they get around it? [/QUOTE]
