Why do you need to know if I am a diabetic?
Diabetics do not have to pay VAT but unfortunately most other companies will require you to pay the full price including VAT and will leave you to fill out a long form to claim the VAT back. If you are diabetic please make sure you select the "YES - I have diabetes" option at the top of the listing and you will not have to pay VAT.
What will I Receive?
You will receive 2 boxes of 50 x SD CodeFree Blood Glucose Test Strips. These test strips are solely for use with the SD CodeFree Blood Glucose Monitor.
You will also receive full instructions on how to use the strips and the strips will have a minimum of 12 months to expiry and most of the time will have nearly 2 years to expiry.
Testing Procedure
Full instructions are included with the meter which you should read through before using the meter. Here is a quick guide: Insert a test strip face-up into the slot on the meter. The meter will turn on automatically.
Use the lancet and lancing device to obtain a blood drop. You only need 0.9 microlitre of blood. Touch and hold the drop of blood to the edge of the strip until the yellow window is completely filled with blood. The blood will automatically be drawn into the strip.
