[QUOTE="HarryBeau, post: 1966558, member: 329049"] I no longer see the DSN at my practice Charis after she labelled me obsessive for testing my own BG...now I have reviews with my GP...I funded my own strips for a year then as said on a point of principle I asked my GP to prescribe them...he said he would but the CCG would likely prevent him...so we agreed I would write to the CCG...it took a lot of work...I read the NICE guidelines re: testing strips...studied the minutes of my local CCG meeting where they discussed this...I wrote to them & justified my need...using the progress as evidenced by review records & pointing out they had misinterpreted the NICE guidelines...they conceded very ungraciously that since my GP had agreed to prescribe they would not stop him...I think any diabetic that wants to test & finds a benefit from it should be entitled to them on prescription...that's what the NICE guidelines say...at my next review if I have reached non-diabetic range ( I should be able to do that finger crossed) I have no doubt my GP will want to stop the script...then round two begins.
