Hi fellow Qatar livers,

I am a recently diagnosed Diabetic and purchased a Accu-Chek compact plus test meter to monitor my blood, i have one extra pack of test strips and cannot find any pharmacy that stocks the strips. Short of buying another meter or importing them from the UK, is there anyone out there who may know how to get hold of them.

My concern is that if i buy a different type of meter the same problem will occur again and no one seems to want to indicate which meter and test strips they intend to stock and keep in stock.

Hope someone can help

Try the one at Villagio. They had them in a few weeks ago. Pricey though mind you.

Hi, if you have the red coloured meter then you won't be able to get the strips anywhere in Qatar. We have to have them sent from New Zealand. If by chance you do have some luck and they have started supplying them then please let me know.

Check with Qatar Diabetic Society. You will get it if they have at a much cheaper price than the pharmacies. It is near to Mumtaza Al Meera.
