Type 2 Testing strips, where to get them?

I had the opposite problem. My first TEE2 gun was almost too feeble to pierce my skin, even on the fiercest setting. I rang up to buy a new one and they sent me a different model free. It was bigger than the one that came with the kit, but still fits into the case. By contrast, I tried using a True Result gun and it was so violent it nearly took my finger off.
 
I tend to swim against the tide, so only use lancets for one day. Several tests each day. I find that after 4 or 5 times they get blunt, and bruise my fingers. Still not sure if that is because I am oversensitive, or have thick skin.
I only use a lancet once or twice as they start to sting where they are getting blunt x
 
I've had no problems so far and also check the expiry date. Like you being Type 2 have to buy my own and this is cheaper and easy x
