It's a lovely thought Tracey, but I suspect you would get into trouble with customs also the American meters are dif to the UK's, so just make sure the strips calibrate ok with them.

you know, i was thinking about the same thing myself. I paid so much for strips in America, and now they are all free. Kinda feel spoiled, and like i should give some away. I dont quite know how to though.
