Doctor said i cant have blood glucose testing strips?

i just got a generic letter from doctor saying that after a review they have decided not to give blood glucose test strips to people not taking insulin, stating that it can infact make my results worse (i really dunno how).

i have did well with my diet and my a1c was 5.2 (which the doctor hasnt even talked to me about yet .. i had to get the receptionist to tell me after i specificly asked for it!!) but this is largely due to the fact that i test myself alot without the test tellin me how high i am etc i would just eat and eat lol

can the doctor stop me getting strips now? i live in the uk and it is / was on my repeat prescription

im on 4 x 500mg metformin a day
