test 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?

Hi all, I am not a diabetic, but as my grandfather developed type 2 in his later life i decided it may be a good idea to check myself. Also i suffer from health anxiety and recently experienced possible diabetic symptoms. However upon speaking to my doctor at length we concluded that a lot of...

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know how I might be able to get hold of a new BG monitor before monday? Mines just completely given up, won't even turn on. I've only just replaced the batteries so not that either. My GP is closed, local diabetes centre is closed, and my local pharmacy don't...

I'm currently losing the will to test myself as my results fluctuate far to much to provide any meaningful reference. Is This Normal? Let me explain. As an experiment; let's say I take two readings at the same time, even from the same drop of blood (it doesn't seem to matter), the readings I...

Links would be good...:-) Just been diagnosed T2 and started a low carb diet. I'd like to get an accurate BG tester to educate myself on what foods or mixtures are best for myself, etc... etc. I read on here that most of you use the "SD Codefree BG Monitoring system" from Amazon. But after...

Hi folks, had my first meter reading today. I got my husband to do it for me, while I looked away and tried to pretend nothing was happening. Lol! Yes I know I've got to do it myself, but one step at a time. I need to segue into these things gently. Okay so 1st reading was: 8.7mmol/L, before...

I've found a page where I'm offered a free one touch verio: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/promotions/verio-giveaway.html?ref=lcp Plus I've also received an email from someone called "Charlotte" seemingly from diabetes.co.uk with that logo at the top but actually from this email address...
