Any medical shop will sell you a glycometer. Acucheck and One touch brands are popular.There are other brands also.Ensure that the testing strips have enough validity period because once you open the vial you have to use them within certain period,in any case not later than date of expiry

There are many brands. As Venkitaraman said only buy acuchek or one touch ,the strips available at all places and comparatively' cheap.

Purchase a glucose meter. Before the invention of glucose meter, urine was tested for sugar using Benedict's reagent.
