Hi. Been reading a lot on here and it's really helped me. I was worried sick initially but I've settled down a bit now. Due to just having Prediabetes I've scanned the Internet looking for the cheapest monitor, lancets and test strips and came upon a company from China. I buy the monitor( code free) 50 lancets and 100 test strips for £12.50. There's English instructions and it all comes in a zipped bag.
I started testing about 2 months ago and it's went from being in the 7's down to 5.5 I'm recording all my food intake and doing quite well on low carbs.
What's your thoughts on the meter etc ?
Probably if I was diagnosed as diabetic I'd go buy something from UK but until late then I'll keep using the cheap version. I go for another fasting blood test on 4th Jan. ....will be interesting to see what it reveals.....thanks for listening and a very Merry Christmas x
