[QUOTE="Gravity-Carb, post: 908975, member: 194006"] Dave I use SD codefree as my GP surgery doesn't provide T2 with meters unless on insulin, unfortunately, so I bought an Accu-check avvia as the meter was £10 from Asda. However the cheapest strips were £21 for 50 from Amazon including pp. I use approx. 6 per day, as I've managed to keep my numbers in single figures with LC eating and exercise. Fasting BG, pre meal & 2hr post meal. With an extra test thrown in cause I'm testing a new food. This would mean 49 strips a week or £21 per week. Like over a piano a year (a grand, my attempt at pigeon cockney) ain't gonna happen bruv. SD Codefree is not as comforting as the Accu-check, but like most things in life, it's how you use it that counts. Your trying to see what affects food/exercise and other stuff has on your BG... you can only do this using a meter. So Home Health UK has the meters and the strips..... 50 strips if bought in a 5pk bulk buy with the code 264086. Works out as approx. £5.10 per week, using 49 strips. No contest. As the cost of Diabetes complications can effect so many people, not just the Diabetic, £5+ per week with dietary and exercise effort we can take on the beast and have a real modium of control over our destiny. I for one find that exhilarating. Weird I know. Hope that helps Dave. [/QUOTE]
