Free Glucose Meters

[ArmorOfGod]

Hey everyone (in the US),
There are two coupons in today's Sunday newspaper nationwide for $30 off of a One Touch Ultrasmart and the One Touch Ultra 2.
CVS, Walgreens, and Eckerds are all running those two models for $30 this week, which would make them free. I just drove up and got one of each.
The Ultrasmart retails at CVS for $89, but they had marked it down to $30, then my coupon cancelled that. The other runs for around $45 (I believe), but the coupon would make it fee as well.

I have been a diabetic since I was ten and use the One Touch Ultra 1. It is good and accurate, but without insurance, the test strips are a killer (50 for $50). If any of you need one, but don't have a copay on strips, Wal-Mart has a Relion brand model for $8.88, with its strips being $21 for 50, and it is very accurate and has memory and even a "night light."

CVS also has a very good "store brand" meter, with its strips running the same price as the Wal-Mart one.

I have been an insulin dependent diabetic since I was ten years old (I am 31 now) and take 3 shots a day. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or just want to shoot the bull about anything.
