Gout Pal Interactive

It is absolutely worth going for the unit from Arctic Medical.

I've been planning to do an article on this for some time now. Perhaps I'll get it done for the next gout newsletter, but not sure when that will be.

You can order a gout monitoring kit, which comes with some testing strips. It is probably a good idea to get at least one extra pack of strips at the same time. If you are as enthusiastic as me about testing your uric acid level, you will use them quite quickly, especially when you first get it. You need one strip for each test, and they are not reusable, but they are quite cheap.

The unit is very easy to use, and the kit includes everything you need to perform your own tests, except perhaps for a paper towel to wipe your finger after testing. The test is painless and very quick.

These units ship from Arctic Medical all over the world - choose your currency when you enter their website, then click Gout Monitoring System on the left. At the website checkout you select your country and delivery method. Most payment options are included. In the box marked “How did you hear of us?” be sure to type GoutPal promotion code GPAM8. With a bit of luck, I'll get a few pennies commission to help with the server costs. Please note, I'm not recommending this just for a bit of commission - I use this machine, and it is excellent for seeing how you uric acid moves. Be sure to wash and dry hands thoroughly before use.

I think you must be clicking something wrong.

1. Choose your currency (near top right of screen)
2. Add the monitoring unit to your basket, plus any extra strips you require
3. Go to checkout
4. Select your country (and state)
5. Select shipping method (e.g. Air North America)

Remember to type GoutPal promotion code GPAM8 in the “How did you hear of us?” box on the next screen.

Price is less than $100, never mind £100.

I don't know where you've seen them at 40 to 50 dollars. Perhaps you could share this information with the rest of us. If they are readily available at that price, I might be able to arrange US shipping.
