The result of all this was that my pharmacist was unable to fulfil the prescription for the SD meter. I got a free Accu-chek Mobile from Roche. I have a prescription for the cassettes and lancets for this. However I wish that they could have fulfilled the prescription as I much prefer the SD...

I am in the process of being diagnosed. Well to be frank, I have been told I have diabetes but they're uncertain as to what form it is currently. I was investigated because I had an intuition that I had developed it based on the experience of growing up in a household with diabetics. So I...

Thank you for trying to help. I currently buy from Home Health UK Ltd via Amazon. I didn't know they sold through eBay.

Thank you for this information it is very useful. I don't suppose you know the pip codes for the strips? [emoji3]

Thanks for the info @Robbity I didn't know that 'murica did that with fibre.

Thanks I've tried using the food app from Google Play but when I've compared many of the entries to what it says on packets it's been wildly different.

I'm new to the forums and diabetes. Can someone point me in the direction of a chart or something that has the carbohydrate levels of basic foods like potatoes, raspberries, etc. I've googled but have been overwhelmed and I'm not really sure what to trust. Thanks in advance.
