What does Diabetes UK receive from promoting these meters? All of them seem to have very expensive test strips - which are perhaps helping to bankrupt the NHS. My surgery gives away the MyLife Pura X meter. Seems very good or at least, adequate. I've had to buy some test strips on Amazon (quicker than doing a special repeat prescription), and was stunned at how cheap these strips are compared to all the ones for the meters that Diabetes UK promotes/sells/advertises. Surely it's these long term-costs for the NHS that are important?

See todays "FREE COUNTOUR NEXT USB GIVEAWAY". Then research the OTT test strip costs.
 
And not withstanding that test strips for the contour next usb and the mylife pura x are within a few pence both the same price on Amazon
