In reference to your first post: the accu check compact plus is a good machine but the Accu check mobile is better. You do not need to have any test strips. It works by a cassette which scrolls around. No strips to get rid of, and very quick. Both the mobile and compact are bigger than most other testing machines however you can attach your lancing device to the side and just take the one machine you. No other paraphernalia.

Is there no criteria to meet where you are.............

here you need to have a HbA1c above 8.5% even after trying on MDI,you have to be educated fully obviously with DAFNE or similar. If you have disabling hypos or [loophole] the anxiety or fear of hypos then you can qualify also...........



Im sure there is some criteria , but I wasn't told any, my HbAc1 is 6.7 , and I'm sure we could all say we have a fear or anxiety over hypos. Well Ive had one bad one before Christmas, and its definately something I wouldn't like to experience again.
