Meter test strips are only compatible with the same brand of meter, there are no generic testing strips for any meter.

Hi does anyone know of any other test strips that are compatible with the contour next one as they are very expensive
Every meter has its own test strips, so for the Contour Next you can only use those strips.

However, glucose meters are very cheap, so you might want to get another meter to go with a more affordable brand of test strips.

Have you tried a well known auction site - I use the accu-check nano and the strips are approx £15.00 for 50 however I bid for 200 a time and usually get them for £10.00 for 50 which is a lot cheaper. In fact the last bid I won was £39.00 for 200 inc postage so not too bad.
