me too! £7 for 50 strips on ebay!The Codefree. Because it's cheap.
I usually test about 5x a day, so it works out at 69p/day. £22 ish a month.
Worth every penny.
I think this is the sort of thing you're looking for.If you can't find them, I'll copy from for you.
It knocks the prices down to around £6 and £5"for 50, when ordering 250 and 500 respectively.
Hi, you will need the apple adapter to plug into the iPhone 5s, it's the lightening/30pin adapter. They are roughly £25 from any Apple supplier.Hi, do you have an iPhone 4 or 5? I have a 5s but I'm not sure if ibg star do the attachments for the 5s. I also read that there's some sort of adapter - do you know anything about this?
Many thanks.
I've just got a Dario smart bg meter, it works on the iPhone 5/5s amongst other phones as it plugs into the earphone socket. I've only had mine a couple of weeks but really like it. It uses a tiny spot of blood. They've only just been released in the uk. I had mine preordered. I have to pay for my test strips and they cost 17.99 a box of 50 incl. vat. If you go onto their Facebook page they are currently giving a number of the meters away.
There's two iphone meters, the iBGStar and the Dario. The iBGStar connects to the charger socket, the Dario connects to the earphone socket. The iBGStar work with the iPhone 4 30pin socket. The Dario will work with any iPhone. The iBGStar can be used as a stand alone meter. The Dario has to be connected to a iPhone, iPod or iPad. Hope this helps.I use MyLife Pura, but only because that's the one my doctors will give me test strips for, I have tried swapping to a different meter but as they will not supply me strips FOC I am still on the Pura, though I do find it to be a good meter compared to my first one given that needed to be coded.
Has anyone got the iphone meter, bgi star is it.?

Thx I saw the dario last night, both meters would work out at something like 20-30 pounds per month for test strips in my current usage, will carry on with my Pura and free strips from doctors and good old fashioned pen and diary still, ty anyways.

I use a acucjek at the moment it works well for me and gives me very accurate blood sugar reading although the pen can be hard to get replacements forI think it's about time I get a BG meter Which BG meter do you have and why? I realise I am probably stuck buying all the supplies myself based on current GP's attitude.Do some use less blood? Are some more accurate than others?Does cost make a difference?
