[QUOTE="AM1874, post: 1406961, member: 379847"] Hi [USER=385045]@Debzz_[/USER] I hope that you are provided with a BG testing meter by your GP Surgery .. however, a lot of folk are not. I suppose it's down to money (or lack of) but, in the short time that I have been on the forum, I have heard some odd reasons that people have been given such as: "there's no need to test unless you are Type 1" and personally, I have been told that I will not be given a meter because I'm on Metformin "so I don't need one". If you do decide to organise a meter yourself, [USER=9424]@liam1955[/USER] is correct, the strips and lancets for the SD Codefree are cheapest .. but only by a matter of a few pence, unless you buy the bulk packages .. plus the meter itself costs £11.99 while other options like the TEE 2 are free. In any event , it's your choice but I would recommend that if you are not given one, you should organise a meter yourself. Check around the forum for more advice and info Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
