In New Zealand they are planning to change to one supplier for BG meters:

Patients with diabetes voiced their objections to a proposed brand switch of glucose meters last night at a public meeting in Auckland.

The meeting, organised by an Auckland diabetes nurse specialist with type I diabetes, was attended by representatives from Pharmac, Diabetes New Zealand, Diabetes Youth New Zealand, and New Zealand First.
