Hi, I'm new to the site. Type 2 diabetic working for the emergency ambulance service & I have to be able to prove my BM if required for being blue light trained.
I was recently given the Contour Next one BM tester that is much easier to use, the ability to place a 2nd droplet of blood if required is much better than the Accu-Chek I currently use. At times I've wasted many strips due to continual error notifications. With the minute amount of blood the contour requires I've also much less chance of acquiring a health care related illness.
I guess I'm here asking if anyone in the West Yorkshire area has managed to get the strips on prescription from there GP's as a type 2 diabetic?
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to help me with this issue.
