You can choose everything you want like your target range, carbs count, weird stuff I don't understand XD
 
Have you checked out the cost of replacement strips? Giving them away is what manufacturers do as that means they make huge profits when you purchase their strips. Very clever marketing. You get nowt for free in this world.
 
I've ordered this week from the company 50 strips cost £23.94 But I will be splitting them with my daughter who coincidently also has just won one.

Edit to add That included postage.
 
Nice meter, I have just had a look on Contours Australian website and it is a freebie meter here as well. It's in mmol/l as well.

Strips are subsidised by the NDSS as well $15.00 for a 100 box (2 tubs), or $1.20 with a PBS concession card.
 
I never payed for my meters, the pharmacist hands them out for free, ( in Canada)but they will get the money back a hundred fold.
So I finally bought a Reli On prime ( Us) for around 20$ and 100 strips for even less..

I think NHS here will get them for me for free but I'm not too sure

I never payed for my meters either or any kind of strips or insulin or anything
 
If you are type one and your GP says no, ask your hospital team as this has been sucessfull for some members in the past. Get to know your meter well and explain how it will help you.
