I love My Dario. Have tried many others and settled on Dario. Your Smartphone becomes your meter.
You are very lucky, as a type 2 diet only, to get prescriptions for these.Have you tried asking your GP practice - mine gives me prescriptions for both the machine and the test strips?
I see that you are located in Nigeria. You could check to see if it can be imported from one of the distribution countries (UK, Canada, USA, France, Germany). I see that the "Global" link goes to the UK site. http://mydario.co.ukThis interesting. It will cost a fortune in my country if it ever comes in. But how much is it.
Hello Bluetit, I'd really appreciate more details, as I've been experiencing lots of frustratingly inconsistent readings with both the Codefree and the TEE2. Which AccuChek did you buy? I don't care much about the transportability but I do care about using a small blood sample, speed, and of course about accurate results. I don't need a new lancet gun and I have enough lancets for a lifetime, given that I rarely change them. I see Boots sell AccuChek - do you know if they are any dearer than any other vendors?I was also given an AC Mobile by my nurse, along with one cartridge and a few lancet tubs, but no repeat prescriptions of course, so I had to buy my own. After about 4 months the cost of the cartridges became too much so I bought the Codefree and used that exclusively for a couple of years. I got fed up of the inconvenience of having several things to carry about with me (although I continued to use the wonderful Fastclix lancet pen) and also the inconsistency of the Codefree, so went back to the Accu Chek, which I have used exclusively now for over 12 months. It is a brilliant meter, consistent readings, and only one item to carry about with no risk of contamination from handling strips. Other than the cost of the cartridges I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Interesting! I have found TEE2 much faster than Codefree, and their customer service is far better, as is their provision of free batteries etc. I seem to be a bit improvident in waiting to the last moment before ordering new strips, and Spirit/TEE2 have saved my bacon more than once. They seem to send by first class post, whereas Codefree tend to use Hermes, who are nothing if not unreliable.I received codefree strips within two day's, bayer would take a matter of weeks when I purchased items from them.
