The NHS itself has
not advocated no test strips, so you need to convince individual doctors. This also might help.

It is not surprising that patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes found it had more of an impact on their lives and their mental comfort when they had to adapt to regular blood sugar testing compared with their counterparts who did not self-monitor and, to all intents and purposes, could continue life as they had previously. However, this does not mean that self-monitoring of blood sugar has no role in diabetes care. It remains vital that diabetics maintain their blood sugar at as balanced a level as possible in order to avoid the many complications associated with diabetes.

The issue of self-monitoring of blood sugar being a “waste” or being a “harm” has been slightly over-emphasised by the news. All people with diabetes should continue to be monitored and carefully controlled in the best possible way, on an individual basis
