 Test strips,
acid-alkaline diet + diabetes survey
Are you receiving sufficient diabetes test strips from your
GP for your clinical needs?
We're currently gathering independent data from our
online community to help find
out what is required for better treatment and prevention of diabetes and its associated complications.
One of the things we’re interested in knowing is whether you’re being prescribed sufficient blood glucose test strips to manage your diabetes.
Help us give the diabetes community a voice.
Test strips are a vital part of diabetes management.
Find out how they work, who manufactures them and other information in our guide on self-blood glucose measurement test strips.
Restriction to diabetes test strips on the NHS has been a long-running problem, particularly for people with type 2 diabetes.
Members of our Diabetes Forum have been affected by this issue and many of them have hit out at their doctors for denying them the chance to test.

Stop and test
DON’T RISK LOSING YOUR DRIVING LICENCE!
DVLA guidelines state that
drivers with insulin treated
diabetes must test before the
first journey and every 2 hours whilst driving.
53% of drivers using insulin
don’t always test their blood
glucose before driving.
The Strip Free Accu-Chek Mobile system can overcome barriers associated with strips and lifestyle, helping you to stay safe on the road.
