I know that some of the meters have a 100% rebate. It sounds crazy but at

CVS and at Walmart I saw the $60. one touch Ultra had these rebates. It took a

while but I got a check for the $60 I paid.

kewl, Gail, I forgot about the rebate thing, I paid 75.00 and got 40.00 of

mine back, but the testing strips were what killed me on it...something like

82..00 for 100 strips and testing three times a day that is less than a

month and a half's worth.. I didn't have the cash to do that.

So I did some digging on the net to see what I could come up with, up to and

including sending a email to One Touch about a patient assistance program,

and they didn't have anything, but I did come across www.diabetesnet.com and

got their quiktec, 45.00 including shipping brought me a new meter and 100

strips.. they are based out of California, in San Diego I believe and even

going snail mail, it only took me 3 days to get my supplies, I even got a

new meter a couple of times, so that I had one at home, one at work and a

spare in case I broke one.. check them out, they even have insulin and other

supplies..

In my class today the CDE said the meters are so cheap because the companies

make the money off the test strips

I got a Precision xtra from CVS. I only had to buy the strips - 50

count, for about $50, which isn't bad, and I got the $80 meter for

free.
