I have a Codefree and also the free TEE2+ meter, which has test strips that are probably the next cheapest to the Codefree ones. You can buy eg an Accuchek on the high street, but the strips will cost you a lot more. In favour of the TEE2+, their customer service is brilliant and everything arrives very fast, much faster than with the Codefree. Their helpline is open 24/7 and you get to speak to a nice human being instantly. They also give free replacement batteries and testing fluid. The TEE2+ supposedly can be linked to an app on your phone, but the procedure seemed complicated and defeated me. However, I am easily defeated by digital technology.Ive got the Codefree test monitor but want another machine just to make bs test is correct. I want to buy a monitor off the high street so can easily get testing strips. Thank you

No, to anyone.Thanks for info. Is the TEE2 meter only free to diabetics?
I'm sure when I looked into it, it was only free to T1No, to anyone.
Even an accurate meter is subject to inaccuracies of up to + or - 20%, which means a reading of 6 could be as high as 7.2 or as low as 4.8. Buying an additional monitor may not help as you won't know which is right or wrong if the readings differ. I use a Codefree and find that strips can vary by up to 20% from batch to batch. The test fluid gives a pretty good indication of accuracy. I check mine at my GP surgery when I see my nurse and compare their reading against my Codefree.Hi @redrickshaw
Why do you think your meter might not be accurate?
The codefree comes out quite well in this research paper for accuracy

If you are concerned about the accuracy of your meter then consider purchasing some control solution

No matter how good a meter is they are less accurate at higher levels
