most modern (recent) "music" its just a noise !!
i use a GLUCO RX NEXUS meter but have been STUNNED by a massive price increase of WELL over 50% of the test strips on yr shop. Why the massive increase ??? is this a government ploy to kill off T2 diabetics. Would love a reason for this and any comments from these test strip users !!!!
 
How much were they before?
They now seem to be £12.91 with VAT relief
If you want cheaper strips you could try the SD Codefree or TEE2 meters which have cheaper strips.
 
With me being on insulin and T2 I am lucky enough as I use a Ascensia contour next one or usb meter and get the next test strips on prescription and I have checked the other meters out and they seem to be to be a good price if you pay

Try another pharmacy to see if they have them in stock, as others have said get one of the quoted meters below.

Why bother when they can rant.... sometimes I wonder why we bother and then get some great success stories which makes it all worth while again. Hey ho nowt so queer as folk I guess...
 
I'm not sure why they are blaming the government for price increases? Do they think this is a government run site?

There, that's my rant done.
