[QUOTE="v987gbl, post: 222542, member: 38061"] I've had exactly the same problem and I'm boiling mad. My doctor is saying that he won't prescribe test strips for my Freestyle meter anymore; it's not him you understand, it's the PCT. He gave me a TrueResult twist meter which is awful; it's way too small and sits on top of the strip bottle so you have to take it apart to get the strips out. It also has no date or time function so despite it's memory is useless unless you record instantly. My biggest concern however is that I frequently test in the evening when I'm out at the theatre, concerts or when I'm dancing and this meter has no light to able me to use it in darkened facilities. I know when Type 2 diabetics are being refused strips that complaining about my meter and restrictions of choice seems awful but it is going to have a big impact on my lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
