[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1996963, member: 400972"] Hi Pauline and welcome. It is over whelming to receive a type 2 diagnosis but we often refer to tackling it is a marathon not a race. You don’t need to learn it all at once. A meter is an invaluable tool and it’s insane we don’t get strips on prescription. Anyway if you can please get a meter, it’ll help you no end. Here’s the meter info [USER=209498]@Prem51[/USER] has screen shot but with live links, and to be clear I have no commercial connections with any of the companies mentioned. For a meter with cheap strips go for the Tee2 + found here: [URL='http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-plus-blood-glucose-meter/']http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-plus-blood-glucose-meter/ [/URL]with the strips found here: [URL]http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-testing-strips/[/URL] With more expensive strips is the Caresens Dual which I currently use, this one has the advantage of glucose and ketone testing in one machine, it’s to be found here: [URL]http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/caresens-dual-blood-glucose-and-ketone-meter/[/URL] With the strips here: [URL]http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/caresens-pro-blood-glucose-test-strips/[/URL] And to be totally transparent I used to use the SD Code Free which has the cheapest strips available. However I found itto be becoming less and less reliable. Here it is for anyone wanting to give it a go: [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] and here for the extra strips [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/[/URL] There are discount codes if you buy in bulk. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 Don’t forget to check the box that you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free.
