6.0 for myself, yesterday's waddle was educational as I still have a walking stick after an accident years ago, I ventured without the stick because I don't need it, as most men will understand, and lets just say I made it back but only just, hehe, sooo my new conundrum is with or without and which waddle I take, WOOP, WOOP luvin' life and its intricacies.

I pay £5.98 per tub of 50, by buying 5 or 10 tubs at a time with discount codes for Code Free strips from Home Health. That works out at $20.36 Canadian dollars for 100 strips, so compared to you we get off lightly by the looks of it!

Rachox, thanks for the information. It is really interesting to note and compare prices and countries. I agree, it is expensive in Canada compared to Britain and other countries. How are diabetics going to monitor their blood sugars if the strips are so expensive and the lower income people are unable to afford them? They don't care, do they?

In Switzerland the test strips are also expensive - a tub of 50 strips (Contour Next) costs equivalent of £45. This is why I’m glad my sickness insurance pays mine. Most foreign suppliers will not ship to Switzerland.
