If you never see any bad numbers why do you feel you need to test so much ? Unless your diet continues to change or you go onto insulin or are ill, I think you may be overspending ? Just a thought Turvell, each to their own.
 
i find it quite interesting in managing what i eat etc. and i can afford it so i dont really care
 
ok ok the real reason is i am a human effigy doll and like sticking pins in myslef lol
 
and I thought I was too keen to test... lol
 
well also i will do anything that it takes to improve this condition, get rid of it or even survive it to be fair
 
ever since the doctor told me ive been running like the wind and dieting like a mad fool. and i aint stopping unitl in physically fit and looking good

They're called SD Codefree and if you search for that on the Amazon web site you'll find them. Some people report they give different readings to their previous meters but given the tolerance for meters is plus or minus 20% of the actual reading that could easily explain the differences seen. And in an case as long as the readings you get are consistent then why would it be too much of a concern. Once you've got a good idea of what foods you can eat without spiking then you can ease off the testing regime. I have a Codefree meter and my readings were consistent with my last HbA1c test, so I'm happy with mine.

I use one too. I have several monitors. If I test before and after food I use the same monitor because of the margin of error. And the CodeFree tubs are slimmer. Much better for fitting into the case.
 
They are good little meters .. I order 200 strips at a time .. It's amazing how quickly they are used .. I average 6 strips a day while I test new foods
