test strips

Anyone have any ideas or know of smallish tubs to put my freestyle libre test strips in. I found it so much easier carrying around my meter ect. When the strips were in tubs rather than individual packages so am hoping to find a tub or container or something to put them in ( even if I leave them...

Hey! I moved over to the Libre in December and have 6/7 aviva mobile casettes spare (due to expire in late 2020/early 2021) but I haven't been able to find much information online about donating supplies in the UK, specifically Nottingham. I could find the Insulin For Life organisation but I...

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've just gone to order my monthly prescription and all my lancets and tests strips have completely vanished from the order page. Obviously, I cannot contact the surgery until Monday, but has this happened to anyone else/ My insulin is still on there, as too are my other medications. Seems a bit...

The people at Libre claim that it is to be expected sometimes that the meter VS test strip is off. Really? I find that most of the time, my meter is off from the test strip by 20% to 100% or more. I am on my 38th sensor with only a few failures. They claim that the meter lags the test strip by...

Diabetic type 2 - seriously am I diabetic type 2? Since I'm being questioned on how many times I test my blood glucose. I was told on the phone by the other person from my doctors that I was testing too much. Questioned was I on any medication for my diabetes? Then told a doctor will give me a...

Hi everyone . I'm type 2 and my diabetic nurse and doctor say they do not need to give me test strips ... I'm a carer so cant afford to buy them myself and I feel I'm ignoring my health as a result not having them... Any thoughts or ideas much appreciated. Em

bbc.com/news/health-46361639 According to above article "Blood glucose testing strips - for diabetes...officials are proposing that GPs prescribe more cost-effective alternatives rather than scrapping them." Does anyone know of the consultation document referred to by the BBC? If so, does...

Last week I had my first appointment with the diabetic team at my local hospital. The specialist nurse decided going forward I needed to be put on insulin. Therefore, before leaving the hospital I was kitted out with a blood glucose machine and insulin. The machine I was given only came with 25...

I had no idea I could get test strips at a discount from the Chemist if my GP registered me with Diabetes Australia Association I walked into Chemist warehouse yesterday and nearly had a heart attack when the pharmacist there says $49.50 for 100 test strips !!!!!! I rang Diabestes Australia...

I have a cousin who last month was diagnosed with diabetes. I heard that its a struggle to get testing kits from the NHS (UK) Mainly because of rationing! How do you guys cope with getting supplies? Apparently people in the US get oversupplied testing kits because of insurance practices.

Well today I had my review with the diabetic nurse and took a prescription card to request test strips for my new Contour next one monitor... and was point blankly told NO you can't have these as they are too expensive and not on Fife's approved list, I explained this new meter has an app that...

I am trying to gain a more detailed insight into the movements of my Glucose levels, so that I can continue with my efforts to reverse my T2 diabetes. Previously, I have stepped up the frequency of my testing using Nexus blood testing strips, but this proved to be painful on my fingers (!) and...

Used test strip? So I'll get the ball rolling here... Just put my dinner plate in the dishwasher and seen a wee Dario test strip looking up at me with a mischievous grin. The dishwasher though? I've still no idea how it got there... Look forward to hearing from you all:)

Hello, I am newly-diagnosed with Type 2 and have been given an Omnitest 3 monitor and some test strips. This is probably a very silly question to those more experienced than myself, but I have only got a few test strips in the container. Where do I get more when I run out? Thanks for any help...
