In my insurance company (Adeslas) they have told me that from now on they will only give me 2 boxes of 50 strips a year because they give me sensors.I have not started crying but almost: 6 boxes of annual strips have gone to 2. I use the freestyle reader as a glucometer and the strips are quite expensive.A box costs more than € 40 in pharmacy.I have not found them on the Internet. I am thinking of buying a new glucometer that goes with cheaper strips and that is reliable.Can you recommend me?
A question.If you use the freestyle sensor, what do you want glucometer for?Doesn't the Freestyle give you the 24h glucose readings through the app?Excuse my ignorance if it's a silly question @ricki21

Sometimes there are sensors that do not work well and mark you, for example, that you have hypoglycemia.You make a capillary and you are perfectly.If you only pay attention to the sensor and eat, you are going to hyperglycemia

The sensor does not measure blood glucose, measures interstitial liquid to which glucose is filtered by capillarity.Sometimes it is accurate and sometimes not. In the sensor instructions they recommend making a capillary before "acting."I explain myself, if you mark 60, before eating anything, if you are not wrong, you measure yourself with glucometer.And maybe you are in 85 and you don't need to eat.Or it gives you 190 (value with which you would put insulin) and you are 150 and you would not do anything because you know you are going to download it.They are differences that are not considered great (it is the same to be at 100 than to 120, you do nothing, or 210 than 230, you put the same insulin) but when they are at the limit of scoring hiccups or hyper you have to check. The unfair thing is that they do not give strips when the sensor instructions are to measure when the result does not fit.

@Ricki21 I have the vital Amazon exactive that measures me the same as the social security and the strips are cheaper (thirty -so many euros 100 strips).And surely they give you more options.

It is when you click on a finger to get a drop of blood and measure the amount of blood sugar with the glucometer.

I would advise you that when you go to Adeslas you ask for a claim sheet and expose what they have told you, the strips have to give you the ones that need, another thing is that you waste them, and if necessary go to the mutual andExpose your complaints.

It is the first time that I hear that sanitary mutuals give glucometer strips.I am from Sanitas.Even what I know is only social security and in Catalonia only to those who are injected insulin.I buy glucometers and strips in Amazon of the brand Sinocare because they are the most economical.I am type 2 and I am only with metformin, but as I have as a diabetic peripheral neuropathy gift, in the account that brings me I buy the strips I need, since this has no cure. Greetings and luck

Hello, I am the mother of a type 1 diabetic, debuted two weeks ago, so I still don't know much. But from what they have told us and we see, the contour Next and its strips are the ones that require less blood, which is important for a child. In Amazon the strips are cheaper.But they are still expensive. We live in Madrid, and in the health center they give us another sensor (the glucomen) that requires much more blood and for my son, which is also very skinny, it is a bit to deck (it does not come out much blood and ends throwing more strips).

They give them, dan, but under the same premises as in the public: with insulin.I know because my mother is from DKV for Muphaz, and they only started glycometer and throws when they put insulin, first nothing at all.I have public and pay insurance for reviews of other things and neither in one nor in another because I have no insulin guidance.
