    Which brand has the cheapest strips? How much I should be paying for them?

    Hello There! As per title... I'm looking for the brand that has the cheapest strips to buy in the UK... Also, how much I should expect to pay for a machine?

    SD Codefree blood glucose meter

    Anyone using one of these? What results you had and are you happy with meter? Changed from a GlucoRx meter because strips cost too high. Now this meter has affordable strips but wonder if I've made a wrong turn?

    Type 1 Testing strip code numbers

    Hi I have a GlucoLab meter, and I've recently run into a problem with my testing strips: I've been given some packs with the code `C1` on the tubs, the strips themselves have black squares on the back, and my meter does not like them! I'd never really noticed before, but it seems I've been...
