| Personally, if my office does not have a particular meter I want to try I will call up the company.
I will explain to them that I am a type 1 diabetic, and I test xx times a day (when they hear 12-26 times a day.. they are flabbergasted) they 99.99% of the time will not only send me a meter but also 50-100 strips to try out the meter (Accu-Chek Aviva was recieved this way along with 150 strips, as well was the Contour that I currently use.. purple in colour of course).
