I think the confusion comes from you not having your diabetes type on your signature. If you can change it in your profile you will get more appropriate responses.I never payed for my meters either or any kind of strips or insulin or anything
Half your luck mate, I entered my name and address for a free meter, and also the other free gifts keyring, bracelets etc three years ago and I am still waiting.I won freestyle libre meter + 2 sensors on this wonderful DCUK site
TrueApplied for a free Next One on their website. No idea if I’m likely to receive one or not. Fingers crossed
Don’t even need one really, but it looks cool and will save me the horrendous inconvenience of manually entering my glucose data into my smartphone

You can buy a new inkjet printer for the same price a single ink cartridge.
I just bought an Epson, my HP wouldn't work with non HP cartridges.Indeed. Which is why we use different inks and fill the old cartridges ourselves. It does encourage angry pop ups from Epsom, but they can be ignored. It still works perfectly.
I did the hypo awareness course and didn't get my braceletI never got the freebies either

When I had a Epsom printer, you needed a chip resetting tool on the cartridge or it would not work after refilling it.You can refill Epsom cartridges yourself. No need to buy new ones.

It's a long time since I used one, but it was similar to this.Mine works fine. I don't have a chip thingy. I don't even know what one is.
Next time I'll win something like that I'll give it away and probably ask only to shipping costs if there would be any because I already have 3 glocose meters which I have one and my bf and my mom has one each just in case of anything happening to meI never got the freebies either
They are said to accurate to +/- 5 %, which is better than most!!
A GP would have to be a real so and so, or ignorant or both to refuse a T1D the paperwork or whatever to obtain a glucose metter and strips. If it is true that a GP did such a thing, report the reprobate to the GMC !!If you are type one and your GP says no, ask your hospital team as this has been sucessfull for some member in the past. Get to know your meter well and explain how it will help you.
Sounds fair enough. There is nothing worse than the one and only glucose meter going on the blink, especially say on a public holiday !! In Australia, chemists are giving this brand of meter away as a promotion, with 10 free strips!!Next time I'll win something like that I'll give it away and probably ask only to shipping costs if there would be any because I already have 3 glocose meters which I have one and my bf and my mom has one each just in case of anything happening to me
