| | | I haven't called yet, because I'm undecided on which one to go with.
The freedom meter isn't even in stores yet.

| | | How do they know whether a person is a Becton, Dickinson's BD Logic user?
I would go with the Freestyle Freedom since it's the newest addition to the family.

| | | OK, I just called. They want you to read off the meter model and serial number from the back of the BD meter. I think that is how they are verifying. You DON'T have to send it in. I keep my BD at work as a "backup" so I will have to wait until Monday to do it.
I asked about how many free strips they send and she wouldn't tell me. I'll try again on Monday.
Muh ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
