The Codefree meter is first class and the lancing device is virtually painless . The testing strips are really inexpensive compared to other makes! I ordered the meter and 50 strips via Amazon but now I order direct from Homehealth whose service is fantastic ( I don't bother to pay extra for faster delivery as Homehealth are on the ball and I get things post free after two days ) I feel awful for not giving 5 Stars to Homehealth but I use an iMac and the soft ware is not compatible with Apple ! Come on Homehealth , have words with your HQ and get them to sort it out !!!!
