Yeah this sounds 100% illegal. there should be a way for you to get ur money back.

The good news about me is that my GP does not have a choice anymore but to allow me to test more. i've finally started using nicotine replacements and it says on the notice that if u have type 1 you must test more often as even sugar-free Nicorette gums might affect ur BG.
