[QUOTE="michaeldavid, post: 505084, member: 57211"] I'm type 1. And I mostly use visually read strips (in addition to the meter): either Glucoflex-R or Betachek Visual. (They're both on the UK Drug Tarrif, though only the former currently has a UK-based distributer.) One's blood sugar needs to be fairly well controlled to make best use of them. But they are both excellent for readings below around 8mmol/l. And for low readings, they are especially accurate. Each strip can be cut into 4 with scissors. (You certainly can't do that with meter read sticks.) And that brings the cost down to around 1/20th of the cost per test using a meter. So I can test my blood sugar as often as I want. And that means a low cost to the NHS, both in the short term and the long term. Indeed, I expect to have no long-term complications. [url]http://www.betachek.com/uk/[/url] [/QUOTE]
