[QUOTE="ians1, post: 226848, member: 10560"] Just received a letter from GP surgery quoting Hertfordshire NHS Guidance on HBGM The full guidance is here [url=http://www.hertschs.nhs.uk/Library/Adult_Services/Diabetes/Final%20Daibetes%20guidelines_FINAL.pdf]http://www.hertschs.nhs.uk/Library/Adul ... _FINAL.pdf[/url] but they don't give you a link to it! Instead they say that "widespread research at national health guidelines..." and "not appropriate in people not on insulin" and " ...limited to 50 strips per year". The leaflet they refer to is actually pages 113 and 114 of the 117 page guidance listed above. It does not mention "only 50 strips per year". If you read the full clinical guidance it actually lists those on Exenatide plus Gliclazide as at risk of hypos and those with kidney disease as also needing to test regularly. It seems wholly inadequate that GP surgeries are sending out such misinformation to groups of people who plainly need to carry on testing. :roll: [/QUOTE]
