[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1352518, member: 30007"] Okay guys, let me make one thing completely clear here. I've been and read a bunch of the CCG reports relating to this on-line. According to the current information: [CENTER][B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0000]In the UK, T1s (and as far as I can tell, anyone on Insulin or other BG lowering drugs) are not going to be getting their test strips reduced[/COLOR][/SIZE]. [/B][/CENTER] All the CCG reports (even the ones updated in October 2016) quote the NICE guidance in relation to Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in relation to this and state that they will continue to be provided. To be honest, without having some form of insurance cover, which in the UK we don't have, anyone in the "government" suggesting life risking changes in healthcare leaves the "government" open to legal action, which I imagine Diabetes UK and JDRF UK would be quick to engage in. The GMMMG report referred to by [USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER] is purely an exercise in reducing the costs of accurate "Blood Glucose Test Systems" (BGTS) as stated in the Background section of the document: [ATTACH=full]21585[/ATTACH] It's basically looking at getting the costs down safely. Below are the aims of the report, taken directly from it: [ATTACH=full]21584[/ATTACH] This is about moving to reduced cost, safe systems, with the hope that the better known manufacturers will follow suit on pricing, no doubt.
