is the meter for free

The thread is now 3 years old, but as a type 1 you can ring most bg meter companies and they'll send you one out for free, just tell them you test multiple times a day.

Applied for a free meter, arrived today.
Just looked on Amazon, 50 test strips £21.35 I get 100 strips for £16.45 for my Codefree Meter.
Glucomen 42p per strip, Codefree 16p per strip. :***:

I think it is unlikely that NHS will pay for it. I'll ask my GP on my next visit.

Post meal test Glucomen LX plus 6.8 Codefree 6.2

My codefree reads lower than my glucomen which I now only use for ketones. Sticking with the codefree because my blood sugars are lower. yours faithfully head in the sand :)
