I checked some of the medical supply company websites in Indonesia and the small handheld glucometers are around $AUD75 but the big sting is the test strips that range from 25 to 100 strips per bottle - depending on what brand is needed for the glucometer and their cost is around $AUD50.
Accu Chek is one of the most common in Oz and you can pick up one through internet shopping for less than $AUD50 and a bottle of 50 strips for around $AUD25. The big hitch with this is sending strips through the post to Indonesia, risky due to the black market in medical supply but check with your friend.
Hope this helps.
