We have our meds delivered by a nice chap from our pharmacy. Dad’s came today along with a pack for me that I was not expecting .

Two packs of Test strips for my Libre. At my last review in August I had asked if their was any chance of having them on prescription, I didn’t hold out much hope as they are rather dear.
and all of a sudden two packs arrive today , I am well pleased, no sign of them on my repeat prescription though, but it’s saved me a few quid, well quite a few quid actually. 🙂🙂🙂
 
That’s great news @Ljc

Hope that is now part of your regular repeat prescriptions from now on.
 
That's great. 🙂
 
Result Lin.🙂
 
That is great news and I have had a similar experience with my GP, regarding another med. It would be better if the learned to communicate better I would say. I found that if you persist, it gets on the repeat prescription form, but you need to be specific. 🙂

Looks like they were a one off. They were a nice surprise though.
 
It can do no harm to push a little, it may become regular, if you are lucky. Worst case is that they think you are being a little pushy! 🙂
