Testing for diabetes at home involves using a blood glucose monitor to measure your blood sugar levels. First, wash your hands with soap and water. Next, insert a test strip into the meter and prick your finger with a lancet to obtain a small blood sample. Apply the blood sample to the test strip and wait for the meter to display your glucose level. Follow the instructions provided with your specific blood glucose monitor for accurate testing.
A healthy glucose reading typically falls within the range of 70 to 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) before meals and below 180 mg/dL two hours after meals. However, ideal glucose levels may vary depending on individual factors such as age, health condition, and whether the person has diabetes or not. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine your target glucose range based on your specific circumstances.
Ideal blood sugar levels vary depending on various factors, including individual health status, age, and whether the person has diabetes. For individuals without diabetes, ideal fasting blood sugar levels typically range between 70 to 100 mg/dL. Postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels should generally remain below 140 mg/dL. However, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to establish personalised blood sugar targets based on individual health goals and medical history.

The best machine I have had to date & knowing I am in control of my testing mean a lot to me.
The machine is small & easy to use. The lancet pen is smooth & have have virtually no pain with use & no soreness, marks or bruising after use at all.
I couldn’t ask for better. Its totally perfect for my use.
Delivery was fast even though I ordered on a Saturday. I had it on the following Wednesday.

Excellent kit with everything you require to take your own blood glucose readings, contained in it’s own little pouch. Cost effective to buy and easy to use monitor gives all the information you need without the added complexity of touch screen, charts, downloads etc. Highly recommended.
Endora (verified owner) –
Bought the SD Codefree blood glucose monitor complete set and extra testings strips. Both orders arrived as expected with no delay. The monitor is very easy to use. However, there is one thing I like to comment. That is the lancing device. My old one seem can have the the lancet be inserted into device better. The new one, that comes with the SD, feels like just have the lancet sitting on the top, not holding firmly (just about 1mm into the holder, my old one has 5mm into the holder). I did not want to push it too hard into the device, in case it will damage the spring element. So at the moment, I am still using the old lancing device to get blood for the test.
However, Overall i still think it is a good buy.
Chris (verified owner) –
Very good, but deducted a star because the instructions could be clearer. They are plentiful in a well written book. However, the first 3 or 4 attempts were met with an “E1” error code saying that the strips were faulty. They weren’t. It was insufficient blood on the strip. So E1 has more than one meaning, but there is no mention in the book about this.
Jonathan (verified owner) –
Every bit as good as the product originally supplied by my surgery and much cheaper. Website easy to navigate and arrival prompt. Will use from now on. Thanks!
Keith (verified owner) –
Great little meter – it is every bit as accurate as any other big name branded meter that I have ever owned (done side by side tests using same finger prick).
The addition of an indicator to tell whether reading is pre or post meal is invaluable (as my meal times vary somewhat).
I use this meter and test strips as a type 1 patient (nearly 25 years now) even though I could use more the big named far more expensive test strips courtesy of the NHS – but why waste NHS money which we all ultimately pay for and are responsible for?
Keith (verified owner) –
I Like my first meter so much that I bought a 2nd as a backup. Great speedy service and great prices as ever from Homehealth.
Excellent!!!
Natasha (verified owner) –
This company is excellent. They delivered the product very quickly and communication was prompt and helpful. The monitor is easy to use and great value for money. I ordered this product ‘blind’ from the website, my previous meter having stopped working. I would highly recommend both Homehealth-UK and this meter, and will be reordering from them again in the future.

Barry (verified owner) –
As my GP practice has now decided to remove test strips from my prescription, I decided to buy The SD Codefree which is new to me.
I have to say that I find the cost’s, not only the meter, but test strips and lancets significantly less than other providers, with the added bonus of not having to complete the VAT reclaim form.
I have found the SD Codefree very easy to use and without the unnecessary ‘bells & whistles’
Shipping is very quick, 48 hours from order to delivery, excellent value and service.
Many thanks

Excellent value for money. Cheapest test strips out of all the other brands.
Summary (comparing Gluco RX Nexus mini to Code Free by a 3 month type 2 newbie)
Although there are a few things that are better about the Gluco Rx Nexus mini, seeing as the Code Free strips are much cheaper, and the costs add up fast, I would still recommend Code Free for anyone on a budget over Gluco Rx. However, if money is no issue, I’d go for Gluco RX Nexus mini.
Comparison with Gluco RX Nexus Mini glucose meter:
Pros-
1-Code Free test strips are cheaper. Save a lot of money in the long run.
2-Code Free kit bag is better than Gluco RX because the stitching is longer lasting. Although, like the Gluco RX brand, it stupidly does not have space for a spare test strip canister to be used as a bin for used strips and lancets (where on earth do they think people put them? In our pockets?!).
Cons-
1-Code Free meter uses button battery instead of AAA, so you cannot use rechargeable, and it might be harder to find replacement batteries.
2-Code Free meter does not have a back light, just an old LCD screen. (Although if you’re photo phobic, this is actually an advantage)
3-Code Free meter almost always reads higher than Gluco RX. Gluco RX will say 4.4mmol, Code Free will say 5.0mmol. I’ve done quite a few comparison tests, with the same drop of blood, and Code Free is almost always gives a reading which is 25% higher.
4-Code Free seems a bit more variable in what value it gives the same drop of blood tested twice (using the same meter). Gluco RX is usually more accurate (only varies 0.1mmol from one test from same drop of blood to another. Although sometimes it also gives wildly different results. I think this happens when I have residue on my fingers despite washing hands. I use magnesium oil and various other skin applied medicines a lot.
5-Code Free meter is about twice the size as the Nexus Mini.
6- Code Free kit doesn’t come with free control solution. Although it seems most people don’t need or use it anyway. It does come with an odd looking non disposable test strip. I still have no idea what this thing is for, and why I’ve not seen or heard of other brands using such a thing.
7-Instructions could be a bit better. Nexus ones are not great either, but a little better.
8- If you want to connect your Code Free to a computer to transfer the results, you must pay about £8 for a special cable (doesn’t seem to use ordinary mini USB). But with the Gluco RX Nexus mini, you get the cable for free by calling a tel number.
