Hello,

I keep looking for a cheap blood glucose meter in the UK, or better say, with the cheapest strips and lancets as my GP will not provide with them. I got one which is called Sinocare but doesnt seem too accurate, any recommendations please?
 
I use the Tee2 which I find accurate enough, I think quite a few of our members who self fund use this one.in fact I just bought a new one yesterday as mine died after 5 years of use, the meter was £14.99 if I recall and the strips just over £10 for 50, though if you tick the VAT relief box you can get the VAT taken off.

One of our members @Rachox has a list of a few meters that vary in price - I’ve tagged her in this post for you
 
Hi @MihaiM , thanks for the tag @lovinglife here’s some info with links for UK meters, and to be clear I have no commercial connections with any of the companies mentioned.


HOME HEALTH have the Gluco Navii, which is a fairly new model and seems to be getting good reviews.

Links to the strips for future orders:

Then they sell the older SD Code Free, details to be found here!

SPIRIT HEALTHCARE have a meter called the Tee2 + which is quite popular:

The strips are to be found here:

If there is a choice of units of measurement then ‘mmol/L’ are the standard units in the UK, ‘mg/dl’ in the US, other countries may vary.


Don’t forget to check the box if you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for all meters and strips)


If you’d like to try a free 15 day trial of the Freestyle LIBRE 2 plus follow this link:

Dexcom also offer a free trial of their Dexcom one + here

I have been using the GluccoNavii from Home Health UK for some time it seems to be reliable and the strips are fairly cheap .
