[QUOTE="Viv0147, post: 1091485, member: 174576"] I am getting my test strips from my Doctor as it happens I had a box of 50 today I ran out last Friday so rather than wait I thought I would buy them so I rang the chemist and asked how much they were £16.15 she replied( lol) so I waited until today! To keep a check on my blood sugar they are vital,because of the testing after meals it showed me the types of food that were giving me high blood sugar, I've eliminated from my diet without the strips that would have been impossible. I also take 4 metformin a day I am living in Wales where we don't pay for prescriptions so maybe the rules are different but ask your Doctor again. [/QUOTE]
