Hi @Stupot1 Here’s some info on UK meters, and to be clear I have no commercial connections with any of the companies mentioned. HOME HEALTH have the Gluco Navii, which is a fairly new model and seems to be getting good reviews, links to the strips and the meter: https://homehealth-uk.com/all-produ...ose-meter-test-strips-choose-mmol-l-or-mg-dl/ There are also discount codes for when you come to buy more strips - "navii5" and "navii10" will give you 20% off purchases of 5 packs of strips and 25% off 10 packs of strips respectively. Then they sell the older SD Code Free, details to be found here! https://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/codefree-blood-glucose-monitoring-system-mmoll-or-mgdl/ Discount codes for the Code Free strips 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 SPIRIT HEALTHCARE have a meter called the Tee2 + found here: https://shop.spirit-health.co.uk/co...e2-blood-glucose-meter?variant=19264017268793 with the strips found here: https://shop.spirit-health.co.uk/co...py-of-tee2-test-strips?variant=19264017367097 Some members have got a free Tee2+ by phoning up to order, with a large order of strips they often throw the meter in for free: Phone number 0800 8815423 With more expensive strips is their Caresens Dual, this one has the advantage of glucose and ketone testing in one machine, it’s to be found here: https://shop.spirit-health.co.uk/collections/caresens-dual If there is a choice of units of measurement then ‘mmol/L’ are the standard units in the UK, ‘mg/dl’ in the US, other countries may vary. Don’t forget to check the box if you have pre diabetes or diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for all meters and strips)
If you want a meter that connects with your mobile phone with blue tooth, I use a Contour Plus which has a good app to keep track of your readings. I got mine free from Contour here in Australia, good chance they migh have freebiest in what ever country you live, which I guees is the UK. Strips are reasonably priced, but not as cheap as the one's @Rachox has posted.
