I was prescribed a pen (the GlucoRx) for sticking my finger years ago to keep an eye on my blood sugar levels, i asked for some more of the test strips and i got a message back from my GP surgery !
"My GlucoRX testing strips have been stopped as i no longer need to be doing testing" !
Is this a common practice for a GP to stop you from getting these test strips and i cannot fathom why they dont want me keeping an eye on my levels before and after certain meals, i just like to know if my levels get spiked and if so i will keep away from certain foods/drinks, im at a loss as to why they think someone with type2 should not be looking at there levels as the blood test is only every 3 months. where as the pen is right here right now.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
