[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1803049, member: 94045"] Hello [USER=475572]@Jaz006[/USER] As mentioned above, you will need to buy your own meter. It is very unusual for Type 2s to be given them on prescription, so we self fund. I'll give you some details in a minute, but firstly I want to advise you to ask for a print out of your blood test results. You can ring the receptionist for this, and you are entitled to them. They are important because you need to know all the actual numbers, not simply the nurse's word that are "normal" or "fine". They may well be lingering at the very edge of normal, and you need to know. (If you are in England your surgery most likely has test results on-line so you can see if yours does and ask how to register) Now, back to meters. The most popular meters for self funding T2's are the Codefree and the Tee2 because the strips are much cheaper than other meters, and you need a lot of strips. 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. (applied at the check out stage) 5 packs 264086 10 packs 975833 The Tee2 is here and the meter is free. [URL]http://spirit-healthcare.co.uk/product-category/shop/tee2/[/URL] Don’t forget to check the box that you have diabetes so you can buy VAT free. (for either meter) [/QUOTE]
