Ive been useing a caresens dual monitor for the last 2 months since being told i had type 1. Im having trouble getting the testing strips at the moment, the last week all the pharmacys ive been to have said there is an issue with the suppliers. Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just local to me?
Being type 1, I assume you were given the meter and receive the strips on prescription.
If that is the case, I would contact your diabetes team and ask for a different meter with different strips.
It’s a good idea to have a back up meter anyway but be aware of the best before dates on your strips.
