I've got a Contour meter which was given to me FOC at the Endo's surgery when I was diagnosed and I'm quite happy with it thank you Don't want one of those hyper complicated ones.

I have 5 different meters, they all cost very little on ebay, I have 5 as this increases my chances of buying cheap test strips on ebay.

I'd love a free spare meter, when you have to pay 70E to the one you left in a restaurant you realise that not everything in the UK is bad :wink:
