Here’s some links to UK meters already mentioned and others, and to be clear I have no commercial connections with any of the companies mentioned. For a meter with cheap strips go for the Tee2 + found here:
http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-plus-blood-glucose-meter/ with the strips found here:
http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-testing-strips/
With more expensive strips is the Caresens Dual which I currently use, this one has the advantage of glucose and ketone testing in one machine, it’s to be found here:
https://shop.spirit-health.co.uk/collections/caresens-dual
And to be totally transparent I used to use the SD Code Free from Home Health which has the cheapest strips available. However I found it to be becoming less and less reliable. Here it is for anyone wanting to give it a go, just bear in mind it seems they are replacing it with the Navii, details below.

and here for the extra strips

There are discount codes if you buy in bulk.

Home Health have recently bought out this one too, but I haven’t heard any reviews yet, links to strips and the meter:

Don’t forget to check the box that you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for all meters and strips)
well strangely enough given the topic and the OP wobbly feeling..
i actually had an 'odd' feeling earlier..a little drained..i recognised it i thought as a False hype,
so thought i'd test..now i usually run at low 6's to mid 5's.
have sometimes gone Lower then that but not often.
the Navii does seem to read lower then the codefree
so my numbers while lower are still usually above the 5.0 marker, where i'm used to.
i tested via the Navii and got a 4,1..unheard of for me...have had a few in the fours but few enough to be able to count on one hand.
so i tested with the Code free as well a few moments later, knowing it reads higher then the Navii (but which one is the accurate one, huh
)
and that read 5.1..so i was deffo lower then normal..and by a bit according to both meters and my own 'false hype'
so problem solved and i ate a bit of cheese and crackers and felt much better 15 minutes later or so.
so a thumbs up for the Navii from me.
oh
@bulkbiker ..they were offering the meter for free IF you ordered a 100 strips, was a link for it, but wouldn't work for me, so i emailed and got the deal.
anyone else interested, i'd email and say that a member on here mentioned it, and see how far you get.
Most obliging company from my experiences.
