Linda brought up a good point about "generic" meters and test strips. Check with your insurance company (that's assuming you have insurance) and see what their generic diabetes supplies are. Once you get that information, then you can get your doctor to prescribe the "generic" brand for you. My insurance provides the Tru Track Glucometer and test strips at no cost to me because they consider it a generic version. That really helps out especially after having to pay for all of my insulin! If you do not have insurance, then you can always go to your local pharmacy i.e. walgreens, target, wal-mart, etc. and pick your supplies up. No prescription necessary
