Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I usually suggest accucheck.
However it's not just the machine that's important.
It's also the strips that have to be purchased.
So its always better to buy from the local pharmacist since they are the ones who will supply the strips regularly.
Let me know the machines available locally.
l will help our accordingly.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
