If it helps I took in a printed off version to show the team what I wanted they couldn't say they didn't know that wayI asked for a meter for ketone testing on blood and they keep telling me they've never heard of it despite being diabetic specialists and thus will not make the effort to look for one. As every time i use my ketostix (urinalysis) part of me thinks its that I have left it some time after I opened the tub and it says to use within one month which could be giving me false readings.
Yeah i think my doctors/hospitals in my area only order free meters from companies like accu chek where I requested to have a more comfortable blood glucose meter (which I got for free with some added lancets), however I checked on their website and accuchek don't do meters that check for ketones. The DSN/Doc seems unwilling to provide an external source of a ketone testing meter free of charge since I'm on benefits and I don't want to have to pay a majority of my weeks pay just for a meter.If it helps I took in a printed off version to show the team what I wanted they couldn't say they didn't know that way
They may have their reasons but they have nothing to do with being on benefits, since it's all free if you are diabetic.
