One touch ultra test strips

Have changed their packaging.
Instead of 2 pots of 25 test strips you now get one pot of 50.

Completely and utterly brainless idea as they haven't increased the pot size so anyone with dexterity problems is going to have major issues 🙄

I have been getting pots of 50 strips for awhile and don't personally have a problem with them ,not anymore than usual, they are fiddly little beggars generally I find

That does not sound like a bright idea.

Madness, isn't it!!
On the other side - I collected some Ketone strips for the Glucomen XL. They now put them in a pot of 5!!!! instead of the individual foil packets. The pots are bigger than the One Touch glucose strip pots 😱 As we don't use them very often, I can see me throwing them away (and ordering) more often now, as it says to throw them after 3 months of opening. The old style I could keep until the use by....

Cynical moi wonders if the manufactures will pass on the pot saving cost to the nhs for cheaper test strips.

I seriously doubt it
