[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 2120509, member: 460785"] Second, third and fourth what everyone else says. I went for the Tee2. Phoned them up, ordered 200 strips and they threw in the meter for free. Bank on using around 200 per month. Testing is not forever. Have Bacon and eggs for lunch, doesn't raise your blood sugar, no point in keeping on testing for that! Bank on around 200 strips per month to begin with. You will reduce gradually as you discover what foods suit you and those that don't. Download the app mySugr. There is a free version. Log your food and numbers into it. In around 6 days or so you will have enough data for it to give you an estimated HbA1c. It is close enough to the real lab test and is highly motivating when you first start out. [/QUOTE]
