[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1707032, member: 429870"] I have both, and I sometimes use them one against the other if I get a reading I don't like or think improbable. Sadly, I find I quite often get rogue readings with each. I don't think one is better than the other, but I suggest starting off with the TEE2, since you get a generous starting kit including case, 10 lancets, lancet gun, 10 strips completely free. Replacement batteries are also free. In addition, their customer service is far better, with a real person immediately available on the telephone 24/7. They send very quickly by first class post wheras the Codefree people are much slower. I therefore suggest ordering the TEE2 initially, with one tub of 50 strips @ £7.75 VAT free. You are much more likely to want to contact Customer Service at the beginning and that is not available for the Codefree at weekends or in the evening after a certain time. Once you have tried out the TEE2 and got used to testing, you can always choose to buy the Codefree, with perhaps a bulk buy of cheaper strips, or even splash out on a dearer meter. I am about to buy a third meter, an Accuchek, as I hear it is more reliable. However the strips are MUCH dearer. I would not recommend it to start off with, as at first there is a tendency to waste strips (by fumbling anxiously around!) and also to want to do a lot of testing. I plan to use the Accuchek only when I particularly want to be sure the reading is accurate, and to do a second reading when I suspect the first one with the TEE2 or Codefree is questionable.

It really is important to wash and dry your hands before testing, store the meter and strips correctly (not in a steamy bbathroom) etc etc. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
