I went to it and when it was done, they offered me a case for my current meter. lolKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414385390223775121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-66695711078990029902009-01-05T07:37:00.000-05:002009-01-05T07:37:00.000-05:00You can tell how much the meter companies are maki...You can tell how much the meter companies are making on the test strips by their willingness to give away the meters, can't you?<BR/><BR/>Sort of like $20 inkjet printer/scanners that cost $80+ for a set of ink cartridges!<BR/><BR/>I'm jealous of all these offers that aren't valid here in Australia, but then I'm comforted by the fact that the Government subsidises test strips so they cost me 6c Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-26974959007690934852009-01-04T15:35:00.000-05:002009-01-04T15:35:00.000-05:00I always check my meters (Ultrasmart) against lab ...I always check my meters (Ultrasmart) against lab tests, and in three years, they've all been within 3 points of the lab value.

The OneTouch meters all came with 10 strips, as did the Aviva; plus there was a separate 50-strip vial that came with the Aviva. Over approximately 40 tests on each meter, in a range from mid 80's through about 150 (forced highs), no meter was more, or less, accurate than the others.

Luckily, my insurance pays for my strips. <BR/><BR/>It is frustrating that these meters are not more consistent. I had one meter that was consistently 40 points higher than the other. I was happy that the lower reading glucometer agreed with the lab test at my doctor's office.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655747133135789559noreply@blogger.com
