[QUOTE="Antonm5012, post: 1316065, member: 330120"] In terms of finance - funding, I use 6-7 finger pricks tests, so 4 boxes of 50 of test strips a month. The retail cost of those is roughly 4x £27= £108. I am not sure whether NHS gets them cheaper than the retail or not. With sensors, I would still need to get test strips just in case (e.g. when driving), I would say one box will suffice. So 2 sensors + 1 box of test strips a month = 2x £48.5 + £27 = £124. I say £16 difference in costs is well worth it! Although, I am not sure how to add the costs of failed sensors to this calculations.. [/QUOTE]
