Buy the Codefree meter as above. They have a very speedy delivery service. The meter is handy and easy to use. I have had mine a week now. Today having slightly higher readings than last week. I think it's because I'm a bit stressed today. Since being diagnosed I have learned more via this forum than from my doctor. Also everytime you do a search on Google for a diabetic question the no 1 site for answers is this one. Hope your sugar rich blood stops boiling soon and you get everything under control.
