| | | Free Meter
I have a new, factory sealed BD logic glucose meter with 25 test strips. FREE! If you want it post here first, then PM me. And please, it's completely free, I'll even pay for shipping but please post only if you need it. Please let someone who needs it take it first. Thanks.  I also have several coupons for free/ reduced meters.
They are: ANY FreeStyle brand Blood Glucose Meter for only $9.99 with coupon. Good until 3/30/06 and redemable at any pharmacy selling FreeStyle.
Also, a free Ascensia Contour or Ascentia Breeze meter when you BUY a 100-ct test strips.
My lovely wife, Mrs. Discordia is a coupon hound, so more to come.

Here's a thought Discordia. If no one on here takes it, have you tried calling your local health dept. or a nursing home? I'm sure that either one of these may have a need for something like this. Just a thought.

| | | I thought next time I go to the diabetic ed I'd take em with me if I still had them, they give them to the newly dx'd. Or a nursing home, thats an idea too.

| | | The reason I suggested a nursing home is that my hubby's grandmother (type 2) was in one and they didn't check her bg's often because of lack of meters.

| | | would be glad to accept the meeter
discordia,
if you haven't gave away the meeter yet, I would be glad to accept it (I will pay for shipping if you want). I don't have medical insurance and have to buy all the supplies on my own and you know how critical it is to be able to test blood sugar on a regular basis.
Thank you in advance for the generous offer. I'm new to the forum and not sure yet how to post/send private messages directly to your email address, I try to figure it out. |

| | | Sure you can have it, and that was the last one so this thread can be closed I guess.

| | | There have been a number of threads here on free meters. Many doctors can give them out for free, or you can get them at a very low cost. All the expense/ and thus all the profit/ with testing is with the test strips. That's where you burn money. |
