i knew that they were changing name to FreeStyle Optium Got new pack today and it says on pack No calibration Bar NO CODING REQUIRED. Just wondered if anyone else used these and do you just stick the new strips in meter? Dont want to open pack yet as am packing them away in my case for move and still have some old style strips
cheers

Nope, I use the Freestyle Lite strips. They changed my strips last year some time and the new ones are far more sensitive and far less likely to fail. I haven't had a dud strip since in fact.
 
Yep, just stick them in and go. They've obviously been planning for the changeover for a while, as the last 12months worth of strips I've had have all had the same calibration code anyway.
