I just ran out of my last testing strip, can't get any from my temporary doctor and was thinking of buying some more but I can't find any jazz testing strips so is it worthwhile buy a new meter with strips and if so which meter is best for accurate results?
 
Amazon have them as well in 3 qty's 10's, 25's and 50's

If you are after a new meter I like the Bayer contour next usb and the Accu Chek mobile, most new meters only come with 10 strips, though my usb came with 25 and the mobile came with 50.

Amazon I found was the cheapest place for the Accu Chek mobile at just over £18, though Accu Chek and Bayer sent me them free, I did buy a spare Accu Chek mobile from Amazon.
 
Would your chemist not give you some if you tell them you'll get a prescription to them asap?
Why will the temp Dr not prescribe them to you?
 
If you use the same pharmacy all the time I'd go along with the suggestion that you ask them to loan you some, once they receive your prescription they'll just knock the box of strips off, no harm in asking anyway!
