There are some Contour Next Link (non-2.4 version) listed on Ebay and other sites. Unless Medtronic locks the meter to one user account, maybe you could then pair it and get the data out, if they will ship to your country.

Here in Canada, the infusion sets Mio 30, Mio Advance, Sure T and Mio that I have used all came with a cap in each set. They also charge the government C$26 each, but still that cap cannot be worth more than a few cents, so it is a strange way to save money.

The sets have been failing early for me as well at the rate of about 1 in 10. I started with the Mio Advance and my nurse said to call Medtronic and report the failures. Medtronic sent a box of 10 Mio Advance plus boxes of 10 Mio and 10 Sure T (metal) to try for free. The Sure T failed less than the Mio Advance and Mio, but I just had one fail the first day so am trying the Mio 30 which goes in at an angle but uses plastic.
