If you use any of these meters, you’ll need to change to one of the 4 funded CareSens meters and test strips. What if I haven't changed meters by 1 August 2018? CareSens Dual meets the ISO 15197:2013 (the international performance standard for blood glucose monitoring systems)* CareSens N, N POP and Premier meters use the same funded glucose strips – the CareSens N test strips.

If you're eligible for a funded meter, and don't already have one of the funded Caresens meters, you can get a new meter from your community pharmacy before 1 August 2018. From 1 August 2018 you will have to see your general practitioner to change meters. Meal markers can be attached to tests to show which tests were pre-meal tests and which were post-meal tests.
