[QUOTE="DiabeticGeek, post: 17298, member: 7961"] The problem with self monitoring are that the NICE guidelines are really ambiguous for diabetics not on insulin. Any GP who doesn't want to prescribe strips could interpret them in such a way to support that decision. They could also salve their conscience with recent BMJ papers that argue that self-monitoring for newly diagnosed T2s is not cost-effective and of doubtful effectiveness. These papers are quite flawed, but on a superficial reading they could justify withholding strips. I have posted [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes%2Dforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2809&p=9916#p10009]details of these papers[/url] in a previous thread. [/QUOTE]
