Expensive to run in what way? I have a Kia Sorento which can always make it up the very steep hill in winter And over the mounds of snow the snowplough blocks off my driveway with, but it only does 29 mpg. I am retired now so one more nice car to take Mrs this is Bloody Impossible up and down to her work.
I only have one (accu-chek aviva nano).
It is my trusty little foot soldier and I would feel disloyal if I bought another one. Or another seven
It wasn't the battery?
You could order a codefreeI've got two primary meters and about a half dozen other's that are around the house and in the car, plus my wife's pack.
Main two are a Freestyle InsuLinx and the USB Contour, the rest of the meters are various Freestyle's that I've been sent over the years, Freestyle sends me a new meter each year so the old one I swap out with what ever the oldest meter is and go from there.
I got the Contour as part of a test program before it was released, I don't like it and find it not a great as the freestyle's take way more blood then I like only good thing about it is that it is self charging that all the other meters are lacking (all of them have to have batteries changed, hence why they get sent free to me yearly)
All standard meter strips cost the same there is no difference between brands its all personal preference here (only ones that cost more are the breeze cylinder ones, they are like an extra 10 to 15 bucks more pricy, set of 100 strips costs about 80 CAD (no insurance and out of pocket cost).
This just made me remember My other meter It is another codefree which used these units. I was probably not wearing my spectacles when I ordered it.Here's the reason why I asked my question about the two meters. One of them gives readings between 88-129, the other 120 -150, so for me it's important to know if I'm below 100 or into a baddish zone. Maybe it's an obsession on my part as my H1c will give me the definitive result. I'm due for a blood test in October. Would like to know now how it's going. In my mind it might make the difference between 2 tablets a day or 3.
You can order from any amazon. I have an account with amazon Canada. If you are having to pay yourself it may be worth trying.that brand doesn't exist here in Canada that brand is specific from what I understand to the UK only
Why are some people not supplied glucose monitors and test strips on nhs? And have to pay for them instead?
