I don't use medtronic, but I'd be surprised if you're able to buy it from a high street shop. Tagging @Nicola M who uses Medtronic in case she can help. You could try the nearest hospital with a diabetes team on Monday. Hope you get one soon, and have enough test strips in the meantime. Take care and enjoy your holiday.

I know if I need to replace mine I have to get one directly form Medtronic (I haven't had to but they'd be the people I'd call) - and I also seriously doubt you could get one from anywhere but Medtronic or maybe a hospital diabetes clinic (pretty sure my hospital clinic doesn't have spares mind - also it takes a good week or two to get any useful reply from them anyway)

Hi There and welcome to the forums,

I would either follow the advice above and try a local diabetes hospital clinic as they may have one to hand or I am part of a group on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/119376721997721) That does allow you to post to see if anyone local has one you can borrow for use. From Medtronic themselves unfortunately would probably take too long.
