Hi guys I was diagnosed two weeks back and put on glicklazide 40mg x 2 I was not given any thing to test so I bought my own which is a an accu check nano
The test strips are £20 for 50
Now last night I got in from work and sat down and felt a hypo so I checked with my meter and it was at 3.4
I got on to the docs today to request a prescription for more strips to be told I should only be testing 3x per week and the test strips are expensive
And they have now supplied me a different meter called a care sens N but this is giving me a higher reading than my accu check even after I have calibrated both meters, question is which is the best meter
They are saying that the strips for my accu check are to expensive and won't be supplied but if the supplied meter is not as good then that's no good for me any help will be appreciated
