Which is the best on the market in the UK?

I find Optium Free Style not working well,
anyone else using those?

Desperately looking for for cheap but reliable.

Many thanks
 
I use the Contour USB Next Meter which is a very good meter and you can download all your results to your PC, Accu-Chek are also good meters and I was using the Nano meter before moving to the Contour.

I can't help with the ketone meter as my GP won't prescribe the strips, says they are far too expensive and the Ketostix are good enough :(
 
Hi Quirky,

I posted on the glucose monitoring part of the forum about the reliability of the Bayer Contour Next test strips - the figures Bayer quote are the best I've seen for accuracy & they are validated by some Scandinavian independent adjudicator called SCIPs which Bayer say are like the MHRC used to be (but they don't test monitors any more).
