Hi Peeps...
I was worried having been diagnosed type 2 early January this year that the cost of test strips would be quite a financial burden. I moved over to the USA in march and with their medical system the way it is (no NHS) was pleasantly surprised to find the cost of strips here much lower than I had been paying in the UK.
This lower cost got me to wonder if it is possible for Asda to stock the same strips as Walmart here in the USA does? they are the same company as Walmart purchased Asda some years ago. I pay 9 dollars for 50 strips which is about 6 UK pounds. I don’t know how much shipping is from the US but here is a link to their advert.
