[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1651561, member: 278312"] Hello [USER=461211]@ashbash28[/USER], welcome to the forum. You asked about options for bg testing meters; because very few type 2s get their meters and strips funded via their GPs, most of us have to purchase our own equipment if we want to keep track of what's happening with BG levels. The meters themselves are relatively cheap, or even free sometimes, but you'll find that the main cost is in the strips, because you will probably use quite a lot, particularly in the early days of testing. I have "borrowed" this info from another thread, details kindly provided by [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/94045/']@Bluetit1802[/URL] "Many people on here use either the Codefree or the Tee2 because the test strips are the cheapest on the market. You can pay between about £7-50 and £30 for 50 strips, so you need to be very careful. You can't buy them in pharmacies. Try here for the Codefree meter [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/product-category/blood-glucose/blood-glucose-monitor/[/URL] and here for the extra strips [URL]http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/[/URL] There are discount codes if you buy in bulk. 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 The Tee2 is here and the meter is free. [URL='http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-blood-glucose-meter/']http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product/tee2-blood-glucose-meter/ "[/URL] but the strips are slightly more expensive than the Codefree, and there are no discount codes for bulk purchase. Hope this is helpful, alongside other options available. edit:typo [/QUOTE]
