[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1280697, member: 32394"] Nice guidelines provide that type 1 diabetic patients should be supported to test 4-10 times a day, or more (see ng 17 1.6.11-12 [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2[/URL]) I suggest seeing the practice manager or a doctor and asking why the guidelines are being contravened. Do you have a DSN at a hospital clinic? If so, get in touch with them because they will support you in asking the script you need. If not, maybe contact the local diabetic nurse team at your hospital and see if they will help explain to your GP practice why it is not appropriate or safe to be restricting access to test strips for an insulin dependent diabetic.
