You can get emergency prescriptions for free, although i don't think it streaches as far as glucose test strips as they're not technically medication (i'm not in work next week or i'd ask) more like an applience and you can buy them over the counter (which at 22 pounds i think you did). You probably need a prescription for prescription only medication to qualify for free ones. But the rules say that you can supply a limited quantitty of drugs without a prescription on the understanding that a prescription will follow when the doctor is next able to send one.
As for the "Code", the pharmacy profession is very tightly controlled by rules, laws and guidelines, breaking them can lose you your license, job and can land you in prision. It's a pain to work with and to be on the end of, but it's the law, basically.
