Hi, have decided to purchase a meter to help track blood sugar etc. It seems a minefield online trying to find consistent reviews.
Can you recommend a good one obtainable here in the UK? Not overly expensive either!
Thanks.

I use this one.
Cheapish to run (strips are reasonable) and the results align with my HbA1c.

They have been known to give the meter away if you order by phone and order enough strips.

I have the tee 2 and it has been reliable for some years - though these days it gets little use it still comes up smiling every time.

another vote for the tee2. You'll get through a lot of strips initially so this is quite cheap and does a good enough job
