I also found that out (though I already placed 1 order for strips through the mail order pharmacy). My insurance pays 100% durable medical goods with no deductible (pump supplies and strips) and the University of Michigan has a trial program that makes the insulin (as well as any other diabetes drug) free. Certainly better than the old deductible and 20% I had to pay with my old insurance. It's definitely worth finding out the cheapest ways to get things. It'll be nice not to have to pay anything except $15 co-pays at the endo for awhile
