| I get 50 with every repeat prescription. Recently I was going on holiday and needed a few extra (just in case) so I just let my gp know I was going away and I got the extra in a seperate script.
I spoke to my nurse about some of the concerns on here about test strips and she said everyone was different and each diabetic should get what they need from their gp and that you just have to let them know how many times a day you test. Apparently the prescriptions for test strips are decided on a case by case basis, the gp's are not told how many they're allowed to prescribed per patient.
