| | | Free One Touch Ultra 2
You can get a free Ultra 2, I got this from one of the freebie sites that I get the newsletter from. https://www.lifescan.com/products/simplestart/
Just fill out the form and when it asks the name of the meter you use the most, choose one that is not a Lifescan and they will ask if you want a free Ultra 2 sent to you. |

We will see.

| | | Did anyone happen to see the date on there? It said Sept 15, 2006 so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I just did it for my neighbor and it only offered the Ultra 2. Now when I did it, it allowed for the Ultrasmart or Ultra 2. I guess it's all in the way you answer some of the questions.

| | | I did it and they offered a choice of the two...I went for the ultra-smart. I'd love to see if those things are really that awesome. Thanks for the tip!
I already use the One Touch Ultra, and I love it, so this will be cool! |

| | | Thanks. I also got the choice of 2. I went with the Ultra 2 simply because it's smaller. I can use a backup meter and it's a good opportunity to give the Ultra a shot, I never used anything other then my freestyle.

That's great. I posted my free meter info on the monitoring forum, because that is where I look when I want information on meters. As I am sure many others do too.
I will have to check out the Chit Chat forum. |

| | | Cool. I just did it also - i got to choose and opted for the ultrasmart.
I still find it disgusting how much the test strips cost here. I am used to paying $12 for a box of 100 strips at home in Australia.
