Slang / procurement of diabetes testing strips
Swedish term or phrase: ute och springer
Sorry, I've no idea whether this should be pro or non-pro.
Document is a survey of the procurement of testing strips for diabetics and those who use them.
In a bubble coming from a person's head:
"Jag är irriterad på att leverantörerna är **ute och springer**". De upplever att referensgruppsmedlemmarna är hemliga.
TIA
