[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 90879, member: 19371"] Shocking isn't it? Did you ask to get the VAT removed - you are VAT exempt as a diabetic - for anything you use to manage you long term condition. You might want to shop around for a meter that is cheaper to run. I think my meter (Accu-chek Aviva) is one of the most expensive to run :roll: However, all the manufactures keep it going for you once you have it - they provide replacement batteries and all the other gubbins, as well as replacing it if it breaks, for free. I have supplemented my NHS strips with ones bought on eBay - shop around for a reliable seller by checking feedbak and making sure it has a long shelf life. Decide what proce you will pay, including postage and then don't go above it. My limit is half the price of the strips in the shops. Why are you no longer getting strips on prescription? [/QUOTE]
