Hi Dear all, Greeting! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetics 7 months ago, I continually check my blood every morning and two hours after evening meal. So far so good, however the cost of buying Onetouch Urtra stip is becoming impossible for me. Insurance converse a fraction of the cost, can...

I have a one touch ultra which I get some strips for on prescription but not enough to test as often as Id like. I have also got a Tee 2 (free from Spirit healthcare) which i buy the strips myself (£7.75 for 50 so 1/3 the cost of the ones for the ultra)
Ive run some comparison tests and the two meters produce very similar results

The Codefree and the Tee2 have the cheapest strips, and are popular on the forum.

Pharmacies don't sell them. There are discount codes if you buy in bulk and don’t forget to check the box that you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free.

The Tee2 is here. The meter is free but the trips are a bit more expensive

I love the idea that I get to have trips with my TEE2, even though they are expensive. The anticipation has quite cheered me up!

Just don't get over-excited when you start testing, and trip yourself up then...
