Diabetic Testing Strips
This is because if a patient is not on insulin then spot-tests of blood glucose levels have little value. Regular measurement of HbA1c, as advised by the surgery, is a far better indicator of diabetic control.
You may be interested to know that the cost of test strips to Cornwall is over £1.3million per year. If your diabetes ever needs treating with insulin, then testing will be appropriate for you and you will receive guidance from the diabetes team at the surgery on technique and management of self-testing.
