Sorry if this question is in the wrong place.
My CareSens dual arrived today and I thought that there were going to be some keto strips in it to get started. Anyhow, there weren’t and when researching where to get them from I can only buy 1 box of 10 and they work out to be $1 a strip. Is this right? The pharmacist also told me this is the only way to buy them.

That is the correct price. My CareSens arrived with 2 free Keto strips and 10 free BG strips.

Did you buy from Spirit Healthcare? If so call them / they’re very helpful and will sort it out.

That is the best place to get strips for that meter.

@Sparkle1953 The keto strips may have a NDSS subsidised price by the look of it, that's if you are a member.

@Tipetoo. You are right that they are subsidised. 20 of them were just over $21. Was really excited to check to get a proper reading rather than using the keto sticks. 2.4, so really happy with that.
