I know of a mail order place that you can get 100 Fast Take strips for $61.95

and only $3.95 for Priority shipping. Email me if you would like the phone

Hi Dave,

I would LOVE to see a price like that! I received a free FastTake meter a

month or so ago. It was pretty nice. It even came with 25 strips. So I tried

to shop around for them when I started to run out. The cheapest price I found

was $98.99 for a box of 100. I would count yourself lucky if I was you! I

don't have insurance that covers that stuff either, which really puts a dent

in my wallet!

I found FastTake test strips on Drugstore.com for cheaper. Try there...

On Rick Mendosa's site he has info on strips.

www.diabeticpromotions.com has good prices on strips. Their InCharge

glucoprotein strips are $25. I just got them from WalMart and they

charged my insurance over $60 for the six strips. I only had to pay

$4 copay but it is quite a markup.
