| Doc gave me a free meter when diagnosed. Also, CVS Pharmacy gives away free meters quarterly, just ask their pharmacy when the next give-away is. If you check under the "freebies" thread, there are things to fill out for a free meter, and if you watch DLife TV on CNBC (Sunday nights 7 pm EST), there's always a number to call for a free meter.
If you want to buy one, Walmart has a "generic" one that is much less expensive and the strips are less expensive as well.
Most office have free meters given to them by Drug Reps, as they make the most $$ off of the testing supplies.
