How many of you guys have a spare meter as a backup? Do you get the strips for the spare on prescription? When I was diagnosed I left the hospital with a freestyle optium neo, 2 months later the DSN gave me the Aviva Expert, I still get the ketone strips but it seems they have removed the bg strips from my prescription, it's not like I'd be ordering them all the time, just have a box in the house 'just in case' and if unused reorder a box when they were nearing the expiry date, advice welcome xx
