Yes please I would love them. I'm off on hols and will be needing some for my back up meter. I am going abroad for 1st time and I will be testing all the time hahahahaha
Careful - last time I proposed doing something like this with the aim of getting people the help they needed to convince their doctors to prescribe strips, I was accused of being a criminal, defrauding the NHS and putting the entire future of this board at stake.
If I remember correctly DeusXM people reacted negatively to the idea of deliberately building up an excess of strips still being used by effectively 'over ordering' from a person's own GP on an ongoing basis with the intention of distributing them to T2s whose GPs refuse them test strips.
Personally I don't think this offer seems the same.
Marier. I still can't message you on pm. Do you want to pm me your e mail address and I can contact you that way. The strips would be such a help to me on hols.
Hi Marie, we don't allow posting of email addresses as it can end up with you getting lots of spam. If you want to allow Private messages, then got to the User Control Panel (upper left of the screen, below the main headings). Then click on 'Edit Options', scroll to 'Private Messaging' and make sure 'Enable Private Messaging' is ticked.
Alternatively, you can use the 'Contact' link at the top of the screen to send me your details and I will pass them on. 🙂
