Does anyone else think that introducing this as a "Lite" meter will make a lot of people mad when their pharmacy provides them with the wrong strips?
Having the names so similar will end up requiring people to be so careful about the strips they buy!
Yeouch! I see problems up the road!
I saw this meter (and the associated strips) behind the counter at Walgreens.
I wonder why Abbott is doing this? They have a great meter already, and I can't imagine why I'd want to pay extra to have the coding built in to the strip! Do they actually think those other "no-code" meters are taking their market segment share away?
I'd rather have a cheaper meter. Walgreens charges $103.99 for a box of 100 Freestyle or 100 Freestyle Lite strips.
I remember a year ago when it was only $89.99.
