Hi welcome.

You could sell them on EBay, explaining the circumstances.

If they were on prescription, the chemist should swap them, if there has been a dispensing error. It's a pain if strips are so meter specific.

Hi, did you manage to swap the wrong strips? Hows the machine going? Remembered getting my machine given to me by diabetic nurse feels weird at first but then after a few weeks it becomes a useful routine at knowing where your bloods are at! Good luck. Rob

I changed meter last month and got given the wrong strips. If they were wrong on the prescription, your gp can reissue the prescription. If the chemist gave you the wrong strips, they will have to reissue them. Id go back to the chemist and ask them to double check the prescription and see where it went wrong.
