Are you on insulin Gareth? If so what do you use? I use an Accu Chek Aviva as my main meter and the 360 software too! 🙂
 
I mainly use my AccuChek Combo meter (which is like the 'Expert' but has added Bluetooth and also acts as the remote control for my pump) with 2 x Nano's as back-up.

Plus I already had a really old One Touch Ultra, and a newer Ultra 2 which was in use pre-pump. I also had a One Touch Ultra Easy I blagged off Lifescan a while ago (a metallic red one, yay!) which I wanted for little handbags to save having to take a portmanteau to eg weddings, and I now have a new one of them as well, which my DSN really gave me as a bit of a joke as she didn't think I had enough boxes to carry at the time .... and I had a period of serious meter malfunction so she sort of let me have belt, braces, belt, braces, belt and braces ...... makes a nice change.

I get 150 strips on repeat which I can re-order at will, except it's "6 x" and when that runs out a GP has to renew it again. They do this automatically though when I put the last repeat in, don't have to explain myself to anyone. Which is exactly as it should be!
 
I've got a Caresens meter,i get 50 strips a month on prescription. On their website they cost ?12.75 for 50 free p&p so not too bad if i need extra.
 
I am using the OneTouch Verio Pro and I obtained a free Accuchek Aviva Nano which I also like, then my GP gave me another Aviva Nano.. :D
 
optium xceed one in bag one at home (best meter i have ever had). Im a type two on insulin and have no problems getting test strips at all, i just ask for them when i want them
 
We have 2 Optium Xceeds, 1 Accuchek Aviva Nano and 1 Accu-chek Mobile which is the one my son uses now. Given to us at clinic a few months ago by a rep. We get cassettes for it as and when we order them, 100 tests each time.
 
graham has the glucomen lx and glucomen lx plus we have lots of strips and lots of storage so if anybody needs any extra can contact me also lots of lancets the lx sensor work on lx plus as well the glucomen lx pls has ketones testing strip without need to code but the box for ketones strips are only 10 in 1 box so i dont have many of those .
