There is 2 I use most they are both contour next of different types
thanks for that Searley am going to ask for the next one but as strips are expensive for that meter amd going to need my prayer mat when I ask gp for those strips .Maybe you can answer this please ,are we allowed to change or does the trust have last word on strips .I am on insulin basel bolus so need a meter up to the job
i chop and change as i like.. i currently have the contour next and accuchek aviva on my prescription
however it depends from trust to trust what they will allow.. even if on insulin
they rank test strips by cost, anything in the lower band anyone can have.. in the upper band there needs to be good reason
for example i need a meter with good memory capacity so the cheaper meters often don't have this
The best way is to justify a meter to you consultant or her DSN, and get them to ask the GP to prescribe, this way the GP doesn't get a say
