Following recommendation from this forum I am changing from Alphatrack to Bravo, a pet meter. I tried to change the spreadsheet myself, but I made a mess, and I feel stuck. Thank you very much for helping out, spreadsheets are such a mystery for me.

I thought the Bravo meter was a human meter?

A lot of Canadians use the FreeStyle Lite meter. Strips in the $80-90/100 range. I take a 0.3 drop of blood.
Strips of any kind are expensive in Canada.
You can save up and use your PC Optimum points to buy strips. Also, if you are a senior or have one close by, you can take advantage of Shoppers Seniors Days.
If you live close to the border, strips are cheaper in the US. Tagging @@Wendy&Neko on this one. She's in British Columbia.

There is also the Bravo meter. It takes a much larger (0.6) drop of blood. (I found it read higher than the FreeStyle Lite so I stayed with the FreeStyle Lite.)
The strips for the Bravo meter are $40/100. The downside (other than the larger drop of blood) is that you cannot buy the strips in stores. You have to order online and would always need to keep a back-up of at least 200 strips on hand for emergencies and shipping delays. You cannot run out in the middle of the night during a crisis to get more strips.
