Little white five-digit code chips? And the strips are individually-wrapped in foil, five to a sheet?

If so, that sounds shockingly close to my Kroger generic meter.

wow, that Accu-check Aviva, requires coding and apparently it has a "code chip" that has to be changed every box of test strips, no thanks. Get the Accu-Chek Compact Plus it has code free testing, not sure if they do that in France though, don’t see why not . Phone them up if you have to.

After I use the last strip in a vial. I always open up the new one and place a strip from it in the meter long enough to code it, then place the strip back in the new vial for later use.
