As you may remember, I was short prescribed test strips..

DSN called surgery - I was expecting one pot of 50, but no, I got 5 =250.

So I now have 450.

And my repeat scrip now reads 250 on demand
 
I’d say that’s a win 🙂
 
I'd call it a win as well, I only get 200 at a time
 
Sounds good to me! I’ve just bought mine off Amazon lol

yeah unfortunately unless your on insulin or other hypo causing meds you aren't very often prescribed strips, my mother in law used to get hers on prescription but they were stopped the other year x
 
Sounds like a win to me too Hazel - and I'd love to have heard what your DSN said to your surgery :D

She knows her stuff, I would not mess with her. I did give her a rough time though, telling her I wanted it sorted!!

I know who to enlist if I need back up.
Well done Hazel.
A good outcome.
 
Glad your strip supply is now restored! And it sounds like you’ll need to go back to the pharmacy for them less often 🙂
