Lumbini Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I had similar situation with PercisionXtra from same company . Ran out of strips and could not find them here . Had to order from Amazon.com have shipped to address in US and then someone resend to me here . I got this model because it also measures ketones with special strips but those and even glucose strips for that model not available here. Good new was I bought 100 strips for less than 30 bucks from Amazon but they would not ship here and had to have someone in us take delivery then send here . Go to amazon and see what deals there but hassle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It is a drug store. That is where test trips are sold but few people use so not much is stocked due short life span. One Touch was available in Thailand years ago so you may find. EBay is good for direct order from UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Do they ship to Thailand? Most Amazon sellers do not seem to be aware there is an outside world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oishii Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm diabetic and before I came to Thailand I used a fancy metre. When I came here I couldn't get strips for it anywhere. The most common metre here seems to be Acu Check and you can buy them and test strips in Tesco. So, simple answer for you is buy a cheap one for emergency use, when you run out of test strips for your usual machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is not of availability as I can get onetouch or accu chek test strips easily. The question is one of costs. Unfortunately, I have not seen generic test strips for any meter brand sold here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
