Many of us use the SD Codefree meter, available here: [URL]http://www.homehealth-uk.com/medical/blood_glucose_monitor_testing.htm[/URL] There is a discount code if you buy 5 or 10 boxes, which brings the price down to about £5 for 50 strips. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 You may feel a bit weak when your BG is low and a bit sleepy/headachy if it goes very high.
