    I applied for one as I am type 1 and my current blood glucose monitor seems to have had its day and I had to purchase my last monitor.

    I was going to get one, I don't have diabetes but you never know, but I'll give it a miss. It looks expensive for a freebie, it looks like its worth 50 pounds.

    I got one through the post last week. I have given it to my friend who has been recently diagnosed.

    Hi - one thing to point out to people who are getting them for others, is the size of the sample (0.5) which is one of the larger amounts. For people who test often this can be painful when there are machines available that only use 0.3 (such as the nano mini). These are also very often advertised as a free item in balance. They are all easy to get free because when you start using them they use their own sticks which are in excess of £25 a box
