Coaguchek S Strips?

[lance]

Has anyone heard when the S strips will be available again?

Any new developments?

Patients will be leaving in droves in search of other monitors if this situation continues much longer.

Question..

Question..

To any of our British friends... Are the CoaguChek S strips available there?

As of a week ago. There was no word from Roche on the strips.

I am part of the crowd that has branched out to purchase another brand. My Coaguchek was the original model. So...time for an upgrade.

Mentioned on another thread that I feel this may have been one way for Roche to phase out the older models. I hear the new XS will be available in Jan to home testers in the US. Happens with other products we use in our day to day life all the time!

Strips are still available in the UK. Popped down to the quacks for a blood test this morning, the pharmacist there checked with her supplier who confirmed they had stock. Hope to pick them up later this afternoon. Will update this with the expiry date if they do come in today.
Yep, got them... expiry is 2008-01.

Good luck to you Ron. I only wish we had access to strips in the US.
