My local health board refused to pay the price for them and I have to make do with what they have decided is the system we are to use here, everyone has the same meter and gets the same strips and lancets, they did some kind of deal with the supplier.

Well I suppose the important thing is you have something to test on regularly.

all health boards do the same, cheapest supplier wins, and we now have to find ways to cut the cost of these strips, to the health boards, because every year they want them cheaper. Way the world is these days, unfortunately the biggest savings now will be the cost of labour, which means more efficient machinery, which equals less jobs.
