Here’s some info on UK meters for you
@Turbinedave , and to be clear I have no commercial connections with any of the companies mentioned.
Spirit Healthcare have a meter with cheap strips, the Tee2 + found here:
http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-plus-blood-glucose-meter/
with the strips found here:

Some members have got a free Tee2+ by phoning up to order, with a large order of strips they often throw the meter in for free:
Phone number 0800 8815423
With more expensive strips is their Caresens Dual which I currently use, this one has the advantage of glucose and ketone testing in one machine, it’s to be found here:

Home Health have recently bought out this one, but I haven’t heard any reviews yet, links to strips and the meter:

There are also discount codes for when you come to buy more strips - "navii5" and "navii10" will give you 20% off purchases of 5 packs of strips and 25% off 10 packs of strips respectively (these are printed on a business card supplied with the meter).
And to be totally transparent I used to use the SD Code Free from Home Health which has the cheapest strips available if bought in quantities of 5 or 10 pots with the codes below. However I found it to be becoming less and less reliable. Here it is for anyone wanting to give it a go, just bear in mind it seems they are replacing it with the Navii, details above.

and here for the extra strips

There are discount codes if you buy in bulk.
5 packs 264086
10 packs 975833
Disclaimer, I haven’t used any of the discount codes I have quoted so I don’t know if they are still current.
Don’t forget to check the box if you have pre diabetes or diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for all meters and strips)
