Whilst that is the correct link to buy test strips from the Roche authorised distributor, in reality I suspect most UK people get their strips on prescription from their GP/local doctor. If they have to pay for their prescriptions, that would be about £10 (US$12). 90% of people don't pay - they're free if you are a child, over retirement age, on certain social security benefits, or have a chronic condition. I suspect I have missed some categories.

Of course we DO all pay through tax!
 
I personally am grateful to find sellers who sell INR strips. I see no problem with them posting on this site. If people don't want to use them then it is thier choice.
If you require any supplies, please reach out to me and my team and we will get you sorted.

Yes, but when you get your health insurance through work in the US you may as well pay a higher tax rate. I pay like $370 every 2 weeks for my work sponsored health insurance. I did buy the most expensive plan though, knowing hubby would most likely need surgery this year. It can be argued that private insurance is better, in getting seen quicker etc, except it seems lately I have read about SO many people having to wait here for doctor's appointments. Appointments we used to be able to get within a month, a lot of times in a week if you wanted to schedule that quickly, are just not happening.
 
I'm not sure about needing a prescription to buy a meter or strips.

BUT Roche won't sell to individual users - they will only provide meters THROUGH services - the services may send you a meter, they may send you strips, but they CHARGE the insurance a LOT more than it would cost just for meter or strips. They usually don't give dosing advice - afaik - this comes from the doctor who they transfer the results to.

You need a doctor to prescribe your warfarin and, in most cases, someone in the doctor's office gives you dosing instructions.

You CAN'T get your warfarin without a prescription (although I got some overseas when I didn't have a doctor to prescribe it). It makes sense to require a prescription for warfarin, just as it makes sense to require a prescription for insulin and other drugs that require careful dosing.

Also - I'm not sure you can find a NEW XS -- for the price, it may make sense to pay a bit more for an InRange and assure a bit of future proofing.

As far as SelfCareDepot, Reliaston, and others - both are legitimate dealers of supplies, but only one at this point is in the sponsor directory. I know where MY business will go - because it's a sponsor - when I need new strips.

One more thing -- I didn't know WHERE to find the Sponsor directory. If you click the Forums tab at the top of each page, the sponsor directory, with selfcaredepot's listing is right at the top. This can direct people right to them. It may be more effective than burying the info into a thread that will probably become relatively inactive in a few weeks or months. If you need strips, just open the Forums tab, and there it is.

I've cleaned up quite a bit of this thread.

If there were any misunderstandings it could have been reported, pms sent, anything but berating the sponsor who chose to be here is not the way to go upon grievences.

This is their thread, they have every right to post it.

That said, I should have given a heads up as I know this is something newish for VR. I sincerely hope you all accept my apology for not catching this sooner, and not letting you guys know how this market works.
 
That was my guess, too, but I couldn't understand how this effects a person in Toronto.

Oh - lancets ALWAYS cost less than food -- unless you're eating scraps or living on off label cereal.
you got it, and now you know a little about ripple effects, there is a 100 years old brit saying here, "when uncle sam has a bad cold, the rep of the queen is in ER here...., bonus, !! now you know two things. and as per the costs, yeap, since BB printed another trillion pieces of paper all changed :)
 
I cleaned this thread again.

If you'd like to discuss the sponsor or their product this is the thread for it.

Everything else needs its own thread.

If you have any questions please let me know.
