Hi Tiggrrrz: If I heard correctly, the drugs are cheaper here because the Govt. insists on it, that is in the agreement they have signed. Although I
have noticed they have risen a good bit in the past many years.
I have never paid for my meters. I usually get them free from my Endo, Dietician, Pharmacist(with the purchase of 100 strips, which our Insurance covers), etc. I was offered by a Friend, one of his Ascensia Breeze(he got 2
from his Endo), but I said "No thanks". I figure a person should have 2 of
the same one and I didn't want the disc(I didn't ask to see it, but later he
mentioned it sticks? occasionally).
I like the Fast take, but I got
2 free upgrade card from One Touch, since my Fast Take is being discontinued and the Ultra is almost the same as my Fast Take. I did get the free Freestyle Mini/Flash last summer from my pharmasist. The Mini or Flash are almost the same, very small, light in back, etc. Most people like that meter. That's it.
Oh BTW, I would think oranges would be cheaper in the U.S.(Florida)
especially this time of year.
Good Luck in your Choice.
