Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I about had a heart attack when I discovered the cost of testing strips for my One touch meter. I get some through insurance but not enough. Is there a cheaper alternative for these?
Yes there are cheaper ones available. I use Accu-check Active meter. It allows you to use samples from your arm as well as fingertips, and strips are medium-low in cost. It's very easy to use, takes only seconds, and is very small and portable too.
