Best meter to buy?

[bulkbiker]

I don’t think the Tee 2 tests ketones, does it @bulkbiker ? I have the Caresens Dual another meter from Spirit Health that does, maybe the rep was getting her Company’s products mixed up?

No the Tee2 is purely glucose..
Caresens Dual, On Call GK Dual and Wellion Leonardo all do both.
On Call GK Dual has the cheapest ketone strips I think.

However I don't know if the Tee2 is chargeable or battery powered, freestyle libre you can charge with a cable. probably won't be an issue, but i'm tired of looking for batteries for my other meters

Most meters I have come across all take the 2032 lithium batteries, pharmacies, computer shops, camera stores to name a few stock them as they are standard size battery for electronic products.

I buy them in bulk from Amazon, very cheaply, I always keep spares in my meter case.

Website is painfully slow to load but gets there in the end.
I did try to negotiate a discount for forum members but nothing doing sorry.
Edit to add I think @Goonergal phoned them up for a chat and got the meter free..

Ace. Thank you!

I used to get from a wholesaler here in Bundy when I fixed people computers in my spare time. I always replaced the motherboard battery first up, surprising the amount of computers that had flat batteries and did not boot up. A new battery always fixed it.

A quick clean of the dust inside the box with a air duster and good as new again all for $50.00, "thank you call again".

Ascensia claim +/- 8.4 % for the contour next one meter but strips are not cheap.

Just spoke to them by phone (needed to order some more strips) they are having trouble with their online system generally and the website shop in particular. Adds on the VAT when you try to pay so ordered over the phone. I'd give it a few days if you want to order online or use their freephone number. 0800 881 5423.

That’s fine I will do that! Thank you.
