Still nobody has told me officially - BUT !!

There is still a big supply problem, my pharmacist told me half an hour ago he received another MHRA alert this morning, and showed me the ordering websites for both the largest wholesalers in Birmingham who are both completely out of stock at present and not accepting any orders from anyone!
 
My chemist rang me to bring mine in....the numbers aren't on the list above though. Might as well double check.
 
I managed to get my 4 boxes last Friday without any problems xx
 
I had some with that Lot No but finished using them last year so not sure. Have been using SD code free for a few months as their strips are cheaper. Cannot take them back as have used them.
 
Considering Hannah told us about this problem over two weeks ago....I've just had an email from Accucheck, (I am registered with them, as using an Aviva meter) telling me about the strip recall. What's taken them so long to inform their customers?
 
No idea - I use one of their pumps so obviously also use the dedicated meter/remote - and not a dicky bird!
 
I have been away for a few weeks and hoped that this would be sorted by the time I came back.
I managed to get some strips whilst away but on 40% of my prescription so will be running short earlier than normal. I shall try again sooner rather than later as I am going to be away again soon.
 
I must ring my pharmacy on Tues to see if the suppliers have got any yet.
 
I haven't heard anything either from Accu-Chek or our hospital team, so if I didn't use this forum I'd still be blissfully ignorant that there was a problem! However I have today received a text from the pharmacy telling me that my daughter's prescription is ready, I haven't put one in for her recently so am hoping that might be for the replacement box of strips! Will find out in the next day or two...
 
I have also had no notification from DSN or Accu-Chek even though I am registered with them.
Glad that I am on this forum.
