Ketostix you should be able to get on prescription if you are diabetic. Well, at least if you are T1. Maybe not if you are T2.

I was going to ask if the blood ketone meter supplies were on prescription but from reading further above, I guess not, quid a pop. My blood ketone meter I got for free at DAFNE is sitting unused for want of strips to put in it.

I get my ketone strips off ebay - wouldn't be fair to ask for them from Dr as I'm using them to check diet.

I get mine off ebay. I used to snap up all the out-of-date ones at a massive discount, but Jimmy Moore has created a new market for ketosis testing, and there is a lot more competition for the strips.

I used to buy mine from Germany but this year they've raised the price from €13 to €32 now buying from NZ - http://www.pharmacydirect.co.nz/Optium-Freestyle-KETONES-TEST-STRIPS-10.html?&partner=sli&bid=3 be careful so they don't get stuck at customs, been lucky most times.
