[QUOTE="Baggsy, post: 345107, member: 40124"] As I work abroad on a regular basis I like to make certain I have an adequate stock of supplies in case I'm delayed in any way getting back to the UK, to that end I double up on my repeat prescriptions etc. However every 6 months or so I get standard reply from the Pharmacist at my surgery "You need to have a medication review before I can give you your prescription" Hmm ok well I have regular reviews with my (Totally fantastic) diabeted nurse, I havent changed or altered my medication since I was diagnosed as a type 1, I am totally stable and apart from the fact I have diabetes it hasn't made much difference to my lifestyle.....however; in order for me to get said medication review, really depends on when I can next get an apt, so anywhere between 3-14 days. In the mean time I will run out of Insulin and everything else, miss being able to work and probably (Although not really likely) die from DKA. So the question remains could I please have that prescription? I have to say that is the most annoying thing, I feel as if Im being held to ransom for something thats required for me to live....
