Resolved Question
Show me another »I need help in looking for a reliable but cost-effective blood sugar test kit.?
I have recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and need to monitor my blood sugar while experimenting on various food combinations (using the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load).I live in Metro Manila, Philippines, so please try limit your suggestions to test kits that I can actually buy here (not online as the freight cost alone would be prohibitive).
If possible, please indicate where I can buy it and for how much. I've read that it's better to look for test kits whose refills are cheaper so that in the long run it will cost less than the cheaper testers that come with more expensive refill packs.
I know there are several choices at Mercury Drug Store, but need your help in identifying the reliable and cost-effective ones. I also have heard that they also sell this in Manila (somewhere near Tayuman) at medical supply stores, but also need your opinion as to the test kits available there. I understand that these test kits are cheaper there than those in Mercury Drug Store. I haven't been to Watson's Drugstore yet, but I assume they also carry some testers there.
Hope you can help me.
Thanks In Advance. ***
