Hello all I have been a diabetic for a while (gestational and t2) I now have been told I have LADA. Can anyone advise which is the best meter to use for monitoring and recording results please. #fewrofhypo

Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
Some are more accurate than others, and the ones with cheaper test strips seem to be less accurate. Has your nurse/doctor said you won't be able to get test strips on prescription?

If accuracy is not the most important issue, the SD Codefree meter is available here:

They have the cheapest test strips on the market.

There is a discount code if you buy 5 or 10 boxes, which brings the price down to about £5 for 50 strips.
5 packs 264086
10 packs 975833
