The cheapest is the SD Codefree from Amazon and it has amongst the lowest cost test strips. There are many good makes of meter and the cheapest strips tend to be available from pharmacies on the web. In general test 2 hours after a meal. Sometimes test just before the meal as well to compare the change with different foods. Look for a reading somewhere below 8.5 mmol. Above that  2 hours after a meal means you need to try to reduce your blood sugar. Having a low-carb diet will reduce both weight and blood sugar. When you get your meter come back with more questions</p></blockquote><p></p>
