I've been using a True Track meter for about a year now and I saw at walmart about a month ago that they had a side kick meter.

It was only like 30$ and it came with 50 strips so I snatched it up. Before I opened it I called the company and asked if they sold replacement strips, much to my surprise they said no. I just thought it was wasteful, I'm self pay so even 30$ for 50 strips is reasonable.
Anyhow, I noticed when I got home that the strips were exactly the same as my True Track? I know that meters have "coding" so I wasn't sure they would work in both meters but I tried it today because I ran out of strips for my full size meter and guess what... worked FINE! One read 177 the other 175! I'm pretty happy, Now I feel like I can continue to use both meters and they seem pretty accurate. Just thought I'd let people know. :D
