Diabetes and test strips

8 years ago

Hello -
I will be moving to Turkey for 1-2 years from the States. I am prediabetic and need to start measuring my blood sugar with the blood glucose meters. I am debating whether to just buy a meter there in Turkey to save money on the strips or bring a meter from the states along with 90 day supply of strips. Can anyone help answer my questions or give a suggestion?
How much on average is a meter there?
How much does a box of the strips w x-number cost? Have you seen there any FreeLite or OneTouch brands in Turkish?

Thank you!
