[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1439485, member: 32394"] I'm not sure where this comes from, but I don't think that's correct. The NICE guidelines for type 1 diabetes - [URL]https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#blood-glucose-management-2[/URL] - provide that people with type 1 diabetes should be advised to test blood sugar at least 4 times a day, before meals and before bed, and people with type 1 should be supported (i.e. prescribed sufficient test strips) to test up to 10 times a day, or more when certain conditions like hypo unawareness or lots of exercise/driving, apply. A GP who wasn't complying with these guidelines and prescribing at least 130 test strips a month to a type 1 patient would need seriously good clinical reasons for contravening the guidelines and there simply aren't any clinical reasons that could justify it.
