Hi all,

If anyone with Type 1 is having difficulty getting enough test strips you can use the above letter issued by the DOH to send to your GP. Apologies if this has already been posted!🙂Bev

I've posted a link to the test strip advocacy pack in the links section.

It's very useful for getting test strips when your doc doesn't let you have them.

I'm waiting to see if my request for test strips & ketostix goes through as I've been unwell (so a copy of that letter is already in my bag)
