I'm aware from reading the posts that some forumites have varying degrees of diabetes - I just saw this news piece on the BBC website regarding some faulty meters so thought I would share in case this affects anybody here:

Summary:
People with diabetes are being urged to check their blood glucose meters after a potentially dangerous fault was identified in two models.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said around 22,000 people use the One Touch Verio Pro and One Touch Verio IQ meters.
Both models, used across the UK, are manufactured by LifeScan
