Hi Honey, They may do but my GP will only prescribe 50 strips a month. I was advised to test twice a day. I burned through mine in a few days! As I have not gone on meds, I'm not eligible for a medical exemption on paying prescriptions. The equation was easy - buy strips on prescription at £10 a go or self fund and get 100 for £13 and test to the amount I need. No contest.

Hi yeah I get my prescriptions free due to a thyroid problem. I have done an econsult to ask for them. Otherwise I'll just have to buy some. Thankyou

They've said no, but a diabetic nurse is ringing me tomorrow to discuss my concerns, so it's not looking likely is it.

If it's the same diabetic nurse as before then it sounds unlikely. Fingers crossed,
