[QUOTE="barb5751, post: 1869411, member: 433347"] I was fortunate enough to get a Contour Next One meter free via Diabetes UK. Filled in a form on Diabetes UK website and didnt think anymore about it until a couple of months later the meter turned up. Really pleased with it as it has features that my standard original NHS one didn't have, one of which is 2nd chance testing where if you haven't got enough blood on the strip you are able to add some more, plus it has coloured lights where when your results come up, if they are normal it turns green, if you are hypo it turns red and if you are hyper it turns yellow. I love anything gadgety so this appeals to me. Also most phone cables connect it to the computer. I just had to download the appropriate programme onto the computer and I'm able to print out the results for my Consultant Endocrinologist and Dietitian. Imagine my delight when I went to see the nurse at my surgery requesting test strips for this new machine to find she was able to prescribe them for me which is great as I paid nearly £15 for a box of 50 and got 200 free on repeat prescription as I am a lady of a "certain age" ie. old[emoji1] For once the NHS have worked in my favour. Yay. [/QUOTE]
