The Chinese bought company 😱 I looked & could not find a price for meter or strips

They at one time had a meter that looked like a test strip pot but they were not cheap! They used have on the shelf in my large Boots!

Thats the meter my GP surgery has switched to. Japanese owned (Nipro) American (florida) company.

£18.75 for 50 strips from Amazon, £9.92 cost to NHS. Interesting article from North West Commisioning Groupr with their analysis of a load of test Meters:

Interesting they didn't get a response from the makers of the SD codefree!
