shortage of Test Strips

The last two prescriptions I have ordered I have had trouble getting the Lifescan test strips for
my Ultra Smart meter. The chemist claims there is a shortage from the manufacturers. Has any one else had any problems getting Lifescan test strips ?

I'm beginning to think I should look at other meters, if getting test strips for the Ultra Smart is going to be a problem.

Not had a problem - most of the Lifescan range used the same strips

Hello,

Not had any problems getting them. Out of interest as well, has anyone seen or used these test strips?

Not sure how the 'DoubleSure' technology can test the sample twice but more interstingly it appears to require a smaller blood sample.
